Simple:rest question

help
1

I am using simple:rest to allow exchange of information (json) between a python script and meteor.
I have installed simple rest and I am publishing a collection as :

Meteor.publish(‘uploadedfiles’, function() {
return MyFiles.find({uploaded:1} );
});

I have set in server (since this is a hobbyist - learning application) the following as well

MyFiles.allow({
insert: function () {
    return true;
},

remove: function (){
    return true;    
},

update: function() {
    return true;    
}

});

and I have removed auto-publish and insecure as well.

I have a working GET with:

http://localhost:3000/publications/uploadedfiles

I cannot though successfully implement delete , patch etc.
I am using the details from here

https://atmospherejs.com/simple/rest

but triggering a DELETE //<_id>
like :

http://localhost:3000/publications/uploadedfiles/f8svanxRdhECoSTxp

does not have any effect.
I am using robomongo to view the database and chrome arc to fire the DELETE HTTP method.

Any ideas on what I may be missing (probably has to do something with security ) are highly appreciated.

Many thanks for reading.
