No, you misunderstood. You should be doing DELETE but when I looked at 
the logs for that node you gave the ID for I could see you were actually
sending a PUT request.

I very much doubt that. People delete nodes all the time without these 
problems. I think you must still be doing a PUT if you are seeing problems.
