How to execute a http delete request by microsoft.xmlhttp

[Chamlien]

How to use winhttp or xmlhttp to send a delete request?

Here is the trying but failed：

1.
$oHTTP = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
$oHTTP.Open("delete", $Url, False)

2.
$oHTTP = ObjCreate("microsoft.xmlhttp")
$oHTTP.Open("delete", $Url, False)

3.
$oHTTP = ObjCreate("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
$oHTTP.Open("delete", $Url, False)

All example above can't be used to execute delete request.

It seems that all those methods don't contain a delete method.

Hi Chamlien,

Have you tried to use the WinHTTP UDF ?
Take a look at the _WinHttpOpenRequest function, it has a parameter where you can specify the method (in your case "DELETE").

Hi FireFox,

I found that WinHTTP have DELETE Method, but I need to set many request headers, so How to set more than three request headers like this:

     $oHTTP.setRequestHeader("Accept", "*, */*")
     $oHTTP.setRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "identity")
     $oHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")
     $oHTTP.setRequestHeader("Connection", "keep-alive")

Thanks for answering very much.

I don't know, just use the WinHTTP UDF, it's made for that ; to make things simple and not having to interact with the object.
