REST testing: DELETE request with BODY / Payload?

Question

The application I have to test the choice has been made for DELETE requests to also add a BODY / payload. It has been noted in the spec file that this might be a problem for 3rd party clients. Indeed, for a browser extension client when I changed the request type to DELETE the BODY was automatically closed, but it nevertheless let me open it again. However in SoapUI as soon as I do this (change the Method to DELETE), the BODY disappears and there seem to be no way I can bring it back. So in SoapUI DELETE requests with bodies are not at all supported? Thanks!

Did you try searching first? viewtopic.php?t=24541It is supported in 5.1.

I did search, but I didn't find this. Also I was under the impression that I've tried to update but there wasn't any, and now there is one. Thanks!
However, on the download page there is no trace of version 5.1! http://sourceforge.net/projects/soapui/files/soapui/

Ok, I guess that the update reminder I have is a gentle urge to pass PRO. Can't do that for now, so no BODY / Payload in the DELETE request for me. Thank you both for pointing me into the right directions.
