On the `system.net.httpDelete` function, it's missing the keyword argument `throwOnError=True`. This is on other methods such as `httpPost`, but not on delete. This means I can't get any meaningful information back from the response when the status code of the delete response isn't in the 200 range. ---

What version of Ignition are you using? ---

Use system.net.httpClient instead. It’s the indended replacement for the other HTTP scripting functions in 8.x. The status is available in the response objects from this call. ---

How can I include post data (not url parameters) and headers with httpClient? ---

Look under the "JythonHttpClient Methods" section of the docs: [system.net.httpClient - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.net.httpClient) It's the `data` and `headers` parameters. ---

Thanks, that worked. Though quick question. I keep getting an error that the URL contains an invalid character. In this case, `|`. The URL in question: `https://dev-redacted.us.auth0.com/api/v2/users/auth0|6468f7bbf0c4adceed59f78c/roles` Both firefox and curl recognize this as a valid URL without warning. But Ignition throws an error unless I encode that character to '%7C'. Is that intended behavior? ---

Hmm, what's the exact error? Java tends to do strict URI syntax checking, while other software will often just treat it as a String and pass it through. edit: yeah, so "|" isn't a legal character in a URI unless it's encoded, and we aren't doing any URL encoding for you.
