The ES-HardDelete header controls the way to delete a stream. By default the Event Store will soft delete a stream allowing that stream to later be reused. If you set the ES-HardDelete header the stream will be permanently deleted.

ouro@ouroboros$ curl -v -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:2113/streams/foo2 -H "ES-HardDelete:true"

This changes the general behaviour from returning a 404 and being recreatable to having the stream now return 410 GONE forever.

ouro@ouroboros$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:2113/streams/foo2

HTTP/1.1 410 Deleted
