make a http delete request in rust

To make an HTTP DELETE request in rust, we can use the hyper library. Here's an example code that demonstrates how to do it:

main.rs
use hyper::Client;
use hyper::header::{ContentLength, ContentType};

fn main() {
    let client = Client::new();

    let url = "https://example.com/api/resource/123";
    let mut headers = Headers::new();

    // Add any required headers
    headers.set(ContentType::json());
    headers.set(ContentLength(json.len() as u64));

    let response = client.delete(url)
                           .headers(headers)
                           .send()
                           .expect("Failed to send request");

    println!("Response status: {}", response.status());
    println!("Response headers:\n{}", response.headers());
    println!("Response body:\n{}", response.text().unwrap());
}

In this code, we first create a Client object from hyper's Client struct. We then create a URL for the resource we want to delete.

We create a set of headers for the request, including the Content-Type and Content-Length headers. These headers can be adjusted depending on the requirements of the API you are working with.

We then make the request using the client.delete() method, passing in the URL and headers. We call .send() to actually perform the request, and then use the resulting response object to get the status, headers, and body of the response.

Overall, hyper provides a convenient way to make HTTP requests in rust, including DELETE requests.
