Broken tags/rename and tags/delete functions

[pascalfree]

Hello

Deleting and renaming tags as documented here does not seem to work.

After adding the tag test to some links, I tried the following:

 https://api.del.icio.us/v1/tags/delete?tag=test
 https://api.del.icio.us/v1/tags/rename?old=test&new=newtest

Both returned <result code="done"/> (which is not according to the docs) and did neither rename nor delete the tag.

I also noticed, that no error was returned, when I ommited the parameters, i.e.:

 https://api.del.icio.us/v1/tags/delete
 https://api.del.icio.us/v1/tags/rename

Also returns <result code="done"/>

I'm using the api in my win8 app. Im using the following urls:
"tags/rename?old={0}&new={1}"
"tags/delete?tag={0}"

If a trigger a rename it takes quite some time. It seems like this is done async. I receive a result done and if I rename a tag with lots of posts I can see query the posts/all api and see the tag rename happen post by post. For a tag used in 200 posts it took about 2-3 minutes to rename all items.

Regarding the delete I've found some errors where my tag count from tags/all and posts/all are not matching. See my issue #9 for more details. I can delete tags and it will show up immediately in the posts/all but not in the tags/all api calls.

Looks like they broke this feature :-( I can't rename tags anymore with the API. If i check the delicious.com website they use a different api :-(

Same here.

tags/delete return <result code="done" /> but the tag doesn't disapear. With or without any parameter.

I can confirm this is still very broken. Could you kindly look into fixing this.
