[Laszlo-user] HTTP verbs for RESTful applications

[Henry Minsky]

Sorry, it wasn't clear to me, are you talking about the DHTML runtime or
Flash runtime?

I filed a feature request for setting request headers on data requests  in
Flash, as
http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-4135

In DHTML, it ought to be possible to support DELETE and PUT request methods
for requests, but I haven't tested that at all. It would need to be tested
in SOLO and proxied mode as well.  I'll file an improvement request for that
as well, so we don't forget about it.
