Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

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

    // The following comments apply to SharePoint Windows classic authentication.
    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
    // The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
    // The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"
    // Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
    // for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    // If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
    // Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
    http.SetLogin("SHAREPOINT_USERNAME")
    http.SetPassword("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD")
    http.SetLoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN")
    http.SetNtlmAuth(true)

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // 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 downloads the file named "Domain Name created for Exchange.docx"

    // Note: I was initially confused by the "$value" part of the URL. 
    // When I see something like $value, I immediately think that it's some sort of
    // variable or placeholder to be replaced with an actual value.  In this case,
    // the "$value" is literally part of the URL.  It's not replace with anything.

    url := "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents')/Files('Domain Name created for Exchange.docx')/$value"
    localFilePath := "qa_output/x.docx"

    success := http.Download(url,localFilePath)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("File successfully downloaded from SharePoint.")

    http.DisposeHttp()
