Cannot use DELETE OR PUT (400 BadRequest)

Sure, but without any context of your hosting environment it is hard for me to help you. I think you are running IIS, based on your output. In "IIS Manager" go to "Handler Mappings" and click "Edit" on the ".php" handler. Then go to "Request Restrictions" and the "Verbs" tab. Now select the "All verbs" option to allow all verbs.

The same happens with PUT request.

Don't send a body on a DELETE. What is the PUT you are trying to execute?

I don't think the script ever sends a 400:

$ grep header api.php
            header('Content-Type:',true,404);
            header('Content-Type:',true,403);
            header('Content-Type:',true,409);
            header('Content-Type:',true,422);

So, this must have been sent by your web browser (Apache, IIS, nginx).

I am wondering whether it is not related to my hosting policy. I've tried to use DELETE without payload, the same result. In PUT I've just entered fields I wanted to update in json (+ content type json in request header).

I've overcome this with custom php script for data deletion and update (I need it working now), however I will come back to this issue whenever I will have some spare time.
