I expect it to issue the delete, and then dump the response to the delete into a new tab rather than navigating away from the page that hosts the delete link.
There might be ten other delete links on the original page, and I don't want to delete-back-delete-back-delete-back, when I can just open all of them in a new tab, then go through the tabs to look for errors.
- adrianratnapala 8y agoThat sounds like the right behaviour to me, although there is an arguably nasty non-idempotence. Click it the first time and you get a DELETE response. Click it the second time and you get a 404.
- spockz 8y agoThat is still idem potent. In both cases after the request is performed the resource is still deleted.
- cs02rm0 8y agoWhat if the response to the delete were a redirect back to the same page - would that be reasonable?
