API v2: delete an image

[Edward5hen]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description As the doc says, /libpod/images/{name:.*}/remove should delete an image with DELETE method. But I get a "no such image" 404 code.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. setup the apiv2 service

2. podman pull alpine

3. curl -v -X DELETE http://localhost:8081/v1.40/libpod/images/f70734b6a266/remove

Describe the results you received:

[root@Fedora31 ~]# podman images

@baude PTAL

@Edward5hen i can understand this one is a little confusing because we expose both a single and "batch" removal for images.

http://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/api.html#operation/libpodRemoveImage is the standard endpoint which removes one image only and the name is in the path of the endpoint. For example, images/foobar ... note there is no remove endpoint, instead the method of DELETE tells the endpoint to remove the image.

http://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/api.html#operation/libpodImagesRemove is meant for batch removal of images and is a function on "images". So in that case, it is libpod/images/remove and the names of the images to be removed are passed as a query parameter in type array.

[baude]

actually, there is a bug ... the single endpoint should NOT have a trailing /remove. Fixing now...

@Edward5hen thanks for the report!

[Edward5hen]

@baude it's really my pleasure. The fix is so quick!
