SharePoint -- Rename Folder
This example shows how to rename SharePoint folder.Renaming a folder is not straightforward. Apparently, the information published by Microsoft is incorrect and simply doesn't work (the information about how to update a folder by using the MERGE method is incorrect).
To rename a folder requires two steps, as demonstrated by this example.
