Hi Jason,

thanks for the nice article. Uploading works fine this way even through BIG-IQ used as REST proxy.

I hoped 
DELETE
would be supported as well to clean up the temp file from the directory after importing it into the TMOS file store.

As a workaround I tried a 
rm
command via 
/mgmt/tm/util/bash
which fails with a "401".

Allowing 
DELETE
would help me to avoid a 
cron
to sanitize the upload directory.

Cheers, Stephan
