Late last night we rolled out a fix to the PUT and DELETE problems on the beta version of Blogger. So now updating and deleting posts via the Gdata API works as expected on both www and beta.

Thanks for your patience on this issue!

Pete,

On the beta version, I get "HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented" response (along with base64 content in a html body) for the DELETE request. The PUT works.

On the non beta endpoints, both PUT and DELETE worked.

Odd... I can't reproduce that. I've used both the Java client libraries and telnet. Here's my request:

DELETE /feeds/8719252590190437382/posts/full/1201572408799820151 HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: curl/7.13.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.0) libcurl/7.13.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7i zlib/1.2.3 Host: beta.blogger.com Pragma: no-cache Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=DQAAA....

Can you send more information?

Also, as a general note, if you're having trouble w/ DELETE and PUT because of proxy or firewall issues, you can issue those requests as POSTs and set the X-HTTP-Method-Override header to "DELETE" or "PUT." Less semantic, more compatible.

See http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/protocol.html#Deleting-an-entry
