### Description

The function `httplib_remove()` provides a platform independent way to remove an entry from a directory. The function can be used to remove both file and directory entries. Remove will only function on directories, if the contents of the directory to remove is empty. In Posix compliant environments this function is a wrapper around the Posix `remove()` function. On other systems the Posix `remove()` functionality is emulated with own code.

The function returns **0** when successful and **-1** if an error occurs.
