' Uses the DELETE method to delete a Firebase record.

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' This example assumes a JWT authentication token, if required, has been previously obtained.
' See Get Firebase Access Token from JSON Service Account Private Key for sample code.

' Load the previously obtained Firebase access token into a string.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.FileAccess")

' call Connect before each request.

    ' and then receive the response in another call.)
