    // and we don't want gzipped responses...

    // Indicate we only accept application/json non-gzipped responses.

        return
    }

    // The DELETE request that is sent looks like this.
    // The empty Accept-Encoding header value means we only want non-compressed responses.

    // 	DELETE /deleteSomething HTTP/1.1
