API doesn't accept true DELETE & PUT

[brianherbert]

This will work:

curl -X POST https://api.crowdmap.com/v1/posts/10239/ \
    -F "apikey=XYZ" \
    -F "session=XXXXXXX" \
    -F "_METHOD=DELETE"

This will not work:

curl -X DELETE https://api.crowdmap.com/v1/posts/10239/ \
    -F "apikey=XYZ" \
    -F "session=XXXXXXX" 

Either I'm doing this wrong or we should see about making this work, if it's possible.

This also doesn't work for "PUT" requests. Updated title.

DELETE and PUT work fine, actually. There's just some minor problems with how you're addressing the API;

1. You need to include a matching user agent string for that session
2. Slim only parses HTTP request bodies if the Content-Type is set to x-www-form-urlencoded; pass -d with your CURL request.

Here's a working example: curl -X DELETE https://api.crowdmap.com/v1/posts/123456789 -d "apikey=XYZ&session=ABC" -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.72 Safari/537.36"

Ah tricky.

Thanks!
