' 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"

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
' Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
http.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN"
http.NtlmAuth = 1

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------
' 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 <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "File successfully downloaded from SharePoint.") & "</pre>"
