This is my version of the DELETE for CI. It accepts GET-style arguments for the DELETE, even same name arguments, i.e.: GET /some/url?id=1&id=2&id=3

protected function _parse_delete()
{
    $query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    if ( !empty( $query ) )
    {
        foreach( explode('&', $query ) as $param )
        {
            list($k, $v) = explode('=', $param);
            $k = urldecode($k);
            $v = urldecode($v);
            if ( isset( $this->_delete_args[$k] ) )
            {
                if ( is_scalar( $this->_delete_args[$k] ) )
                {
                    $this->_delete_args[$k] = array( $this->_delete_args[$k] );
                }
                $this->_delete_args[$k][] = $v ;
            }
            else
            {
                $this->_delete_args[$k] = $v;
            }
        }
    }
}
