/**
 * HTTP DELETE method
 * <p>
 * The HTTP DELETE method is defined in section 9.7 of
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
 * <blockquote>
 * The DELETE method requests that the origin server delete the resource
 * identified by the Request-URI. [...] The client cannot
 * be guaranteed that the operation has been carried out, even if the
 * status code returned from the origin server indicates that the action
 * has been completed successfully.
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * @deprecated Please use {@link java.net.URL#openConnection} instead.
 *     Please visit <a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/09/androids-http-clients.html">this webpage</a>
