Fields

Delete = 32: Represents an HTTP DELETE protocol method.

These are the official HTTP methods as specified in RFC 2616, section 9 (except for the CONNECT method).
RFC 2616: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html, RFC 2616 section 9: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.
