     42  * The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the resource
     43  * identified by the Request-URI. [...] The client cannot
     44  * be guaranteed that the operation has been carried out, even if the
     45  * status code returned from the origin server indicates that the action
     46  * has been completed successfully.
