[OSM-dev] X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE

[hy-soft]

Has anybody tried this workaround as descibed in the api page of the
wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Protocol_Version_0.6
?

I can not get it to work, neither with curl
which hasn't implemented a delete Method, so I tried
X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE: DELETE

curl -v  -G -H "X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE: DELETE" -T DOSM0134.XML
"http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/595647268"

The object was updated but not deleted.
I've also tried it with another stack (INDY), but that didn't work out
as well.

Thanks in advance
