#  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the
#  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.

$http->put_LoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN");

#  The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
#  If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
#  establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

#  This example will delete the file named "penguins2.jpg"
#  which is located in the "/Documents" folder.

#  See this example for details on
#  how to get (and cache) a form digest value

#  Add additional required headers.
$req->AddHeader("IF-MATCH","*");
$req->AddHeader("X-HTTP-Method","DELETE");

#  Send the POST using https (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.

#  If failed, the response body contains XML

    #  For example, if the file did not exist, this would be the XML response:
    #  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    #  <m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
    #      <m:code>-2146232832, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException</m:code>
    #      <m:message xml:lang="en-US">The file /Documents/penguins2.jpg does not exist.</m:message>
    #  </m:error>

#  If successful, the response body is empty.
