[Registered] Can't pass an object for Rest Deletes
The option to pass media type in a rest request is not available for delete operations like it is for post/put operations. I'm testing a service that requires this option.
Forum Discussion
How i can do to post this request:

I try to do with HTTP Method Overloading
REST API uses HTTP GET, POST, PUT and DELETE methods. Since some HTTP clients do not support methods PUT and DELETE, you can simulate them via POST by appending the query string parameter _method (yes, underscore method) to a resource URL. Valid values are PUT and DELETE.
For example, if you want to perform a DELETE request on a particular phone number resource you could:
DELETE /2010-04-01/Accounts/AC30947.../PhoneNumbers/PN12345567789AFE4433
But if your client is only capable of GET and POST, then you could perform a POST with a _method query string variable to achieve the same result:
POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/AC30947.../PhoneNumbers/PN12345567789AFE4433?_method=DELETE
But it do not work with SOAPUI or maybe you can help me to make it work ?
thanks
