        async?: boolean;
        cache?: boolean;
        headers?: {};
        maxRetries?: number;

        postdata?: any;
        responseType?: string;
        retry?: boolean;
        withCredentials?: boolean;
    },
    callback: HttpResponseCallback,
): XMLHttpRequest
Perform an HTTP DELETE request to the given url with additional options such as headers, retries, credentials, etc.
Parameters
- url: string
  The URL to make the request to.
- options: {
      async?: boolean;
      cache?: boolean;

      postdata?: any;
      responseType?: string;
      retry?: boolean;
      withCredentials?: boolean;
  }
  Additional options.
  - Optionalasync?: boolean
    Make the request asynchronously. Defaults to true.
  - Optionalcache?: boolean
    If false, then add a timestamp to the request to prevent caching.
  - Optionalheaders?: {}
    HTTP headers to add to the request.
  - OptionalmaxRetries?: number
    If options.retry is true this specifies the maximum number of retries. Defaults to 5.
  - OptionalmaxRetryDelay?: number
    If options.retry is true this specifies the maximum amount of time to wait between retries in milliseconds. Defaults to 5000.
  - Optionalpostdata?: any

  - OptionalresponseType?: string
    Override the response type.
  - Optionalretry?: boolean
    If true then if the request fails it will be retried with an exponential backoff.
  - OptionalwithCredentials?: boolean
    Send cookies with this request. Defaults to false.
- callback: HttpResponseCallback
  The callback used when the response has returned. Passed (err, data) where data is the response (format depends on response type: text, Object, ArrayBuffer, XML) and err is the error code.
Returns XMLHttpRequest
The request object.
Example
```
pc.http.del("http://example.com/", {
    "retry": true,
    "maxRetries": 5
}, (err, response) => {
    console.log(response);
});
