// 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
// 	Host: www.example.com
// 	Accept: */*
// 	Accept-Encoding: gzip
// 	x-exz-date: 20201012T235046Z
// 	x-exz-id: 1234

// Get the response status
statusCode = [http.LastStatus intValue];
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"Response status: ",statusCode);

// Show the response body
NSLog(@"%@",reponseBodyStr);
