DELETE ignores body parameter

[sckott]

Sorry if I missed something/did something wrong, but it seems that body isn't allowed in httr::DELETE() - e.g.,

DELETE("https://httpbin.org/delete", body=list(a=5), verbose())
#> -> DELETE /delete HTTP/1.1
#> -> Host: httpbin.org
#> -> User-Agent: libcurl/7.43.0 r-curl/0.9.5 httr/1.1.0
#> -> Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
#> -> Accept: application/json, text/xml, application/xml, */*
#> -> 
#> <- HTTP/1.1 200 OK
#> <- Server: nginx
#> <- Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 22:18:50 GMT
#> <- Content-Type: application/json
#> <- Content-Length: 367
#> <- Connection: keep-alive
#> <- Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
#> <- Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
#> <- 

The spec https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html doesn't explicitly forbid or discourage its use in DELETE.

Would you be up for allowing body in delete?
