DELETE method not supported by HTTPClient about tornado HOT 4 CLOSED

Gabriel Farrel responds:

The DELETE method is supported by pycurl in the same way it supports
any other libcurl option. The documentation for DELETE via curl is at
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTCUSTOMREQUEST,
where they note:

This is useful for doing DELETE or other more or less obscure HTTP requests.

If you would like to add the functionality to Tornado, you could use
something similar to
http://hg.basho.com/riak/src/tip/client_lib/jiak.py#cl-110 in that
section of httpclient.py you pointed to.

I've made a quick fix to add DELETE support in my experimental (using socket_action instead of multi_perfom) tornado httpclient.

So far it's working good.

Here's the commit:
http://github.com/sris/tornado/commit/eed718ae849596789cb675796f2f4cdf6bbc6d85

The cleanup code is needed since httpclient reuses curl handles and the CUSTOMREQUEST will take precedence over the standard methods when the same handle is used again.
