Sending data through DELETE method in Angular js

Question

I am sending a key through DELETE method but the method seems inappropriate. Any clue what I am missing ? The function runs but the it does not work

$scope.delete = function(id) {
  if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete the user") === true) {
    $http({
        method: 'DELETE',
        url: 'http://abc.dev/users/user/' + id,
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        }
      })
      .success(function(data) {
        $scope.singleuser = data;
        console.log("function single user is processed");                   
      })
      .error(function(data) {
        console.log('error');
      });
  } else {
    console.log("no");
  }
};

Is the server allowing delete methods? Do you get a 403 response? — mkaran

What doesn't work? Is neither of success of error callbacks getting called? Are you getting any errors in the JS console? — Anurag Bhandari

The issue was in the API, as the API is written in Yii framework and in the main.config file where we define the rules there were spaces array('users / delete', 'pattern' => 'users / <model:\w+>/<id:\d+>', 'verb' => 'DELETE'), like this I removed the spaces and it worked.

Final rule

array('users/delete', 'pattern' => 'users/<model:\w+>/<id:\d+>', 'verb' => 'DELETE'),

You are getting 404 means you have not defined the DELETE method API at the back-end.

First of all defined it.
