;  This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
;  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

;  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
;  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
$oHttp.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
$oHttp.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
$oHttp.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.

;  Add additional required headers.
