Delete behaving as Post call

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've followed the documentation for deleteRecord and specified the delete url 
appropriately however when i select the row in data table, delete button is 
activated but when i click on the button it executes the POST call and returns 
the id of the newly created record rather than deleting the selected row. I've 
verified that the id is correctly assigned to each row in the table and also 
the delete function from server side works well when tried through other 
application. Am not sure whats happening...any hints on what might be going 
wrong would really help. thanks!
