What's in the directory? If it's a filesystem, apache won't let you DELETE

Thanks for the quick reply,

there is actually a collection of python wsgi compatible scripts in that directory. At first <Directory> was just setting:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

The the delete request is called on a url like http://example.org/wsgi/image.py/image/2. Is there a different way this type of request needs to be configured.

grrrrrr, thought i excluded all of ... but it seems that the error was coming from a third party python module based on how it was being called.

I knew it would be easy.
