[arin-tech-discuss] Can't delete an IP Reassignment

[Andy Newton]

Sreenath, 

I¹m unfamiliar with using the curl library directly, but I noticed two
candidate issues:

1) Your library code is setting the Content-Type header to
application/json while your command line is using application/xml.

2) Your examples are using different IP addresses. Of course, that maybe
out of necessity but just in caseŠ

If these are not the issues, let us know.
