Current behavior

The HttpClient.delete() does not accept a body parameter.

Expected behavior

The HttpClient.delete() needs to accept a body or clear guidance on why it has this limitation and how to get around it. It was possible with the original Http.delete() via the RequestOptionsArgs

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I work with APIs that have always handled the body of DELETE requests and this is an unexpected change in REST api interaction.
