' 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,

' /{topicPath}/subscriptions/{subscriptionName}/messages/{messageId|sequenceNumber}/{lockToken}
