Aside from an identifier for the item to be deleted I don't think you can. – GordonM Dec 19 '11 at 07:32

HTTP/1.1 does not define the meaning of the request payload for the DELETE method: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.7 so it might be that the browser removes it before sending the request.
HTTPbis (the revision of HTTP/1.1) adds some precision, in that it explicitly says that it doesn't define the meaning of the request payload: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-17#section-6.7
All in all, GWT doesn't do anything special. If you're experiencing an unexpected behavior, it's probably your browser (or possibly a network intermediary).
