hi guys below is my code and i am getting error on line setRequestHeaders

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('#delete').click(function(){
  xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xmlhttp.open("DELETE","https://server/v0/DTDG78/Test/Tulips.jpg",true);
  xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("X-Auth-Token:", "AUTH_tkba87f3f9d9be428898ba362477d18");                    
 xmlhttp.send();
                });

            });

The Error message on console is

Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader] [Break On This Error]

...lhttp.setRequestHeader('X-Auth-Token:', 'AUTH_tkba87f3f9d9be428898ba362477d18...

If you're using jQuery, why not let it handle the AJAX call for you?

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://server/v0/DTDG78/Test/Tulips.jpg',
    type: 'DELETE',
    async: true,
    beforeSend: function( xhr) { 
        // Note: You probably do not need 'X-Auth-Token:', I've removed the colon 
        xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Auth-Token", "AUTH_tkba87f3f9d9be428898ba362477d18"); 
    },
    success: function( result) {
        // TODO
    }
});
