With this guide: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt607719.aspx, I'm trying to create a batch request to delete all quotedetails on a quote.

I'm using jquery's ajax to do the request:

$.ajax(
{
    method: 'POST',
    url: 'http://crm/api/data/v8.0/$batch',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'multipart/mixed;boundary=batch_' + batchId,
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    },
    data: payload
});

And this is the payload:

–batch_SuL11egVC7
Content-Type:multipart/mixed;boundary=changeset_Sj74vxbGYr

–changeset_Sj74vxbGYr
Content-Type:application/http
Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary
Content-ID:1

DELETE crm/.../quotedetails(cc9b9ba8-4570-e611-80ba-0050568a6c2d) HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json;type=entry
–changeset_Sj74vxbGYr
Content-Type:application/http
Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary
Content-ID:2

DELETE crm/.../quotedetails(cd9b9ba8-4570-e611-80ba-0050568a6c2d) HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json;type=entry
–changeset_Sj74vxbGYr--

-batch_SuL11egVC7--

I'm not getting an error, but the quotedetails aren't deleted.

This is the response:

--batchresponse_a3304387-0e91-4097-b9f8-a207da3aa845--

Any clues on what I'm doing wrong?

RE: CRM WebApi batch request

After some extensive testing I figured it out. A few things were wrong with this example:

-batch and -changeset should be with two dashes: --batch --changeset

When deleting records, you stil need to send an empty object

I've done my testing with Postman to quickly try out new alterations. This is my working example:

--batch_AAA123 Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=changeset_BBB456 --changeset_BBB456 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary Content-ID: 1 DELETE tenanturl/.../quotedetails(a223ad55-457b-e611-80bb-0050568a6c2d) HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json;type=entry {} --changeset_BBB456 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary Content-ID: 2 DELETE tenanturl/.../quotedetails(a323ad55-457b-e611-80bb-0050568a6c2d) HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json;type=entry {} --changeset_BBB456-- --batch_AAA123--

I hope this helps somebody in the future.

You don't need to provide an empty object. The problem is the Content-Type header. You should not set it. And add an empty line before the change set separator.

So, this should work:

--batch_AAA123 Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=changeset_BBB456 --changeset_BBB456 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary Content-ID: 1 DELETE tenanturl/.../quotedetails(a223ad55-457b-e611-80bb-0050568a6c2d) HTTP/1.1 --changeset_BBB456 Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary Content-ID: 2 DELETE tenanturl/.../quotedetails(a323ad55-457b-e611-80bb-0050568a6c2d) HTTP/1.1 --changeset_BBB456-- --batch_AAA123--
