[Bug 820660] [NEW] Attempting to DELETE a user through REST API returns '405 Method Not Allowed'

[Stephen A. Goss]

Public bug reported:

src/mailman/rest/docs/users.txt clearly states "The REST API can be used
to add and remove users, add and remove user addresses, and change their
preferred address, password, or name." When I send a DELETE request to
either /3.0/users/1 or /3.0/users/foo at example.org, I get a '405 Method
Not Allowed' response.

$ curl -u restadmin:restpass -I http://localhost:8001/3.0/users/bar@foo.com
HTTP/1.0 200 OK

$ curl -X DELETE -u restadmin:restpass -I http://localhost:8001/3.0/users/bar@foo.com
HTTP/1.0 405 Method Not Allowed
Date: Wed, 03 Aug 2011 22:34:16 GMT
