'  To delete a message, we'll need either the SequenceNumber or MessageId.
'  When the message was peek-locked, the SequenceNumber and MessageId of the locked message
'  was returned in the HTTP response header named "BrokerProperties, which contained
'  JSON such as the following:
'  
'  	{
'  	  "DeliveryCount": 1,
'  	  "EnqueuedSequenceNumber": 3000004,
'  	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
'  	  "Label": "M3",
'  	  "LockToken": "6eeee205-e541-4cb6-95fb-4c81da5f6858",
'  	  "LockedUntilUtc": "Thu, 08 Dec 2016 00:57:32 GMT",

'  The path for unlocking a message is constructed as follows, depending on

'  /{queuePath}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
