  }

  // Manage connection limit
  if (_currentHttpConnections >= maxConnections) {
    String oldestConnection = _connectionOrder.removeAt(0);
    _runningStreams[oldestConnection]?.close();

  }

  try {
    _currentHttpConnections++;
    _connectionOrder.add(path);
    final response = await _client.delete(url);
