How to make a DELETE Request in Haxe

DeleteRequest.hx

package test;

import haxe.Http;
import haxe.Json;
import haxe.io.BytesOutput;

class DeleteRequest {
  static function main() {
    var url = "http://some.url/endpoint";
    
    var response = DeleteRequest.request(url);
    trace(response);
  }
  
  static public function request(url:String) {
    var req:Http = new Http(url);
    var responseBytes = new BytesOutput();
    
    req.onError = function(error:String) {
      throw error;
    };
    
    // Http#onData() is not called with custom requests like PUT
    
    req.onStatus = function(status:Int) {
      // For development, you may not need to set Http#onStatus unless you are watching for specific status codes
      trace(status);
    };
    
    // Http#request is only for POST and GET
    // req.request(true);
    
    req.customRequest( true, responseBytes, "DELETE" );
    
    // 'responseBytes.getBytes()' must be outside the onStatus function and can only be called once
    var response = responseBytes.getBytes();
    
    // Deserialize in kind
    return Json.parse(response.toString());
  }
}
