Custom Delete Method with Retrofit 2.0

Accoring to @JakeWharton it is possible to overwrite Rest Methods. I need a customized method (DELETE with Body) as it isn´t allowed by retrofit even if it´s allowed by rfc spec. But this does not work anyore since the Annotation @RestMethod was removed since retrofit 2.0 So how can I send now a HTTP-DELETE with Body?

see alsow: https://github.com/square/retrofit/issues/426 and https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/605

If I use default mechnism of retrofit 2.0 i get a stacktrace

@DELETE("/myurl")
    Call<String> deactivateUserPermanently(
            @Header("Authorization") String systemAuthLine,
            @Body MyBodyRequest myBodyRequest
    );

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Non-body HTTP method cannot contain @Body.

Actually, the correct syntax is: @HTTP(method = “DELETE”, path = “/foo”, hasBody = true)

@Zhuinden This is correct one. interface Example { @HTTP(method = “DELETE”, path = “/foo, hasBody = true”) Call method(); }
