Angular $http delete request body

Question

There is the following code:

params =
  method: 'DELETE'
  url: "profiles/#{@currentProfile.id}/boxes/#{@box.id}/messages"
  data:
    ids: ids
  headers:
    "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8" 
$http(params)

When I execute this DELETE request I see that this request has no body, i.e. my request has no "ids" param in the body. How can I fix it? I saw some answer on StackOverflow, where people gave advice to set 'Content-Type' header. I did it, but it didn't help me.

Depending on your backend - a body in the delete request might be being ignored. — tymeJV

"my request has no 'ids' param" - What do you mean by param? You send JSON not parameters. — a better oliver

@zeroflagL I mean request body ("data" key of my "params" var) — malcoauri

I have tested your configuration (codepen). You can see in the dev tools that the request body is sent fine:

params =
  method: 'DELETE'
  url: "someurl"
  data:
    ids: [1,2,3]
    something: 'anything'
  headers:
    "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8" 
$http(params)

Keep in mind that some backends will ignore the DELETE body by default. Try to redesign you API.
