Re: Problem Posting to XML to Web API

 

I'm assuming you meant a 405 (method not supported)? A 504 is a gateway
timeout, which doesn't seem applicable.

You should be able to delete orgunits through the same endpoint. Example:

curl -v -X DELETE "https://server/api/organisationUnits/<id>" -u
user:password

(I tried it on the one i created on the demo. It worked).
