A regression in commit 80d9d8c (PR #880 — progress report callbacks) causes HTTP requests using DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, or PATCH with no body to be silently sent as GET on Android. The
requestBuilder.method()call was moved inside a POST/PUT-only conditional, so all other verbs never have their method set on OkHttp's Request.Builder.Repro: Any Android HTTP call using DELETE with no request body (e.g.,
HCHttpCallRequestSetMethod(call, "DELETE")).Impact: All libHttpClient Android consumers using DELETE/HEAD/OPTIONS/PATCH with no body. Requests succeed but hit the wrong server endpoint or return 405.
Fix: Commit 61f081b — move
requestBuilder.method()outside the conditional so it runs for all HTTP verbs. Also add PATCH to the empty-body creation list (OkHttp requires non-null body for PATCH).
