OK, you are using the libcURL backend, which doesn't support what you want.

The fix would have to modify ResourceHandleManager::initializeHandle
around [1]. As you can see that the code has no fallback for methods
other than GET / POST / PUT or HEAD so you would need one that sets
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST. I haven't dived in this code in while so I
could be wrong.

Cheers,
