HTTP DELETE with parameters

Question

Is it against the HTTP Protocol and Best practice to have parameters in a HTTP DELETE (verb) - specifying what should be DELETED.

For example: VERB: DELETE

http://localhost:9393/delete-dns-record?zone=codedtrue.com&type=A&hostname=blog3&attributes=xyz

(using the url parameters to delete the correct resource)

If so, how should this be implemented?

Answer 1

I think this answer is sufficiently dealt with in the link found in the comment by CodeCaster.

Should we encoded identity of the resource in the message body of a DELETE, the best answer is NO. The RFC does not say NO, but it does clearly say this may or may not be supported.
