Hello,

vcpkg has a bug where it doesn't update existing packages. On Travis-CI, I can delete the cache which forces a retrieval of all packages, avoiding the issue.

I'd like to do the same with AppVeyor. I understand there's an API call, but it doesn't seem to be working:

adam@hapkido ~/vcpkg (master) $ export APPVEYOR_TOKEN="myToken"  
adam@hapkido ~/vcpkg (master) $ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APPVEYOR_TOKEN" -H DELETE https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/acgetchell/cdt-plusplus/buildcache  
{"message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'."}%

   DELETE is the correct verb, not GET: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-cache/#rest-api

   I did use delete:

   curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APPVEYOR_TOKEN" -H DELETE https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/acgetchell/cdt-plusplus/buildcache
