How can I send a http delete request from browser?

Question

Is there a way to send a DELETE request from a website, using xmlhttprequest or something similar?

Answer 1

This can be done with jQuery, if you don't mind the dependence on a framework. I believe jQuery uses XmlHttpRequest to perform this action. You'd use the $.ajax function with the type parameter set to DELETE.

Please note that not all browsers support HTTP DELETE requests.
