Description of problem:

Using 0.254 it is not possible to delete a filter, the servers responds with 405 Method not allowd. The only log entry I can find is:

127.0.0.1 - - [07/Dec/2011:19:08:04 +0100] "DELETE /pulp/api/filters/wildcard/ HTTP/1.1" 405 4

The documentation says that deleting a filter should be possible the way I try to do it:

https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/UGREST-Filters

First I get the filter

$ curl -v -k --user admin:admin -H 'accept: application/json' https://localhost/pulp/api/filters/wildcard/

{"description": "discard everything", "_ns": "filters", "package_list": "*", "_id": "wildcard", "type": "blacklist", "id": "wildcard"}

This works. Then I try to delete it:

$ curl -X DELETE -v -k --user admin:admin -H 'accept: application/json' https://localhost/pulp/api/filters/wildcard/
