  // 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,
  // 	  "EnqueuedTimeUtc": "Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:42:48 GMT",
  // 	  "Label": "M3",
  // 	  "LockToken": "6eeee205-e541-4cb6-95fb-4c81da5f6858",
  // 	  "LockedUntilUtc": "Thu, 08 Dec 2016 00:57:32 GMT",
  // 	  "MessageId": "e8028116d63c43f191577f2789b1cca7",

  // The path for unlocking a message is constructed as follows, depending on
