Cases of PUT / DELETE HTTP methods

[gigaga]

Hi,

in Cases of PUT / DELETE HTTP methods, in REST architecture, there is not response from backend in payload (only HTTP status), however, actually, the response is checked if it is an object. If not, an error is thrown "The Properties argument must be an object.".
It seems that is not correct.

Thx.

Sorry for the late response, @gigaga. Could you provide a test case for which this behavior is desired? I don't see from your description how this would work, but I'm sure a unit test would clarify that.

I have not test case :-(.
However, the problem is really easy to reproduce and unterstand. Indeed, when the hal backend server does not provide any body in the response (in case of Delete and Put verbs), there is an error. It should be possible to have not body in the response. Normally, for Put and Delete Http methods, only the Http code status is necessary.
