// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Perhaps add a custom header or two..

// The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
// The Accept and Accept-Encoding headers are automatically added by default.

// 	DELETE /someting?param1=123&param2=abc HTTP/1.1

// 	Accept: */*
// 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
// 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
// 	x-exz-id: 1234

// Get the response status
