Delete request with query params using the APIClient

[madjaqk]

Is there a convenient way when using the rest_framework.test.APIClient to make a DELETE request with query parameters? my_client.delete("/url/", {"foo": "bar"}) seems to always encode the data in the request body, and I haven't seen any option that would override that.

I know I can add the query params manually, something like my_client.delete("/url/?" + urllib.parse.urlencode({"foo": "bar"}), but that's a little awkward; I was hoping this would be possible with just the APIClient.

Apparently in the next version (5.1?) query_params will be usable on any method https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.Client.get

but in any previous version, it seems only url encoding is supported for delete and any non GET method in fact
