What is DELETE method?
DELETE method: The HTTP method that asks the server to remove the resource at a URL. Repeating it should leave the same end state, since the item is already gone, so it counts as idempotent even though later calls may report not found.
DELETE method: an example
DELETE /notes/15 removes note 15; a second call may return 404.
