Not sure if anyone actually uses this function, system.net.httpDelete . I need to pass in a body to this, but there is no parameter that I can find that allows a body. Can you help me find where I can add the body? The http spec allows an optional body in this http method. > **[DELETE - HTTP | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/DELETE)** > > The HTTP DELETE request method deletes the specified > resource. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/b/eb2e2e8a6c5e43575cbed0017a77fdbfd7b8ccf6.png) ---
