Challenge 1: Write the cURL Command — Possible Solution ==================================================================== curl -i -X DELETE https://api.example.com/orders/55 \ -H "Authorization: Bearer abc123" WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ -X DELETE sets the method explicitly — DELETE is never curl's default, so it must always be stated with -X. -H "Authorization: Bearer abc123" adds the required header, using the same -H syntax as any other header. -i is what makes the response's STATUS CODE actually visible in the output — without it, curl would only print the response body (which, for a successful DELETE, may well be empty), giving no direct confirmation of success or failure at all. This is exactly the distinction this chapter drew between curl's default output and -i's added status-line-and-headers output.
