I'm guessing what you are finding confusing is you don't want to "delete" over http protocol.
What are you actually trying to delete? The CGI file itself? If so, I think you want FTP, not HTTP. Or, if it's local, plain ol' FILE.
I suppose there _is_ a delete request method for HTTP, but that would still rely on your CGI script to do the actual deleting and/or dangerous server permissions...
HTH, Brian
I think that delete url is supposed to send the DELETE method on an HTTP request, like GET, POST and PUT. You can check a nice page called 'http made easy' just google for it, it will have plenty info on http methods, delete is not used very much but sometimes it's implemented for custom cgi behaviour, for example ATOM Blogging API will have and endpoint (the cgi) which is /blogs/post, if you POST something a new entry is added, if you GET you will receive the post list with all entries, if you DELETE you will delete some post. Thats pretty cool for you can make your CGI more elegant and simple.
