title: client.DeleteAsync - include object in body
body: <p>I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 website - in C# client code I am using HttpClient.PutAsJsonAsync(path, myObject) fine to call a Json API (the API is also mine created in Web API).</p>
  
  <pre><code>client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://mydomain");
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
  client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
  var response = await client.PutAsJsonAsync("api/something", myObj);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to do the same with a Delete verb. However <code>client.DeleteAsync</code> does not allow an object to be passed in the body. (I would like to record the reason for deletion alongside the Id of the item to delete in the URI).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this?</p>
