Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

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

$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

; If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
; Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
$oHttp.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
$oHttp.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
$oHttp.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN"
$oHttp.NtlmAuth = 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

; To create a list, we're going to POST to
; https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/lists
; with a request body containing the following JSON:
; 
; {
;   "__metadata": {
;     "type": "SP.List"
;   },
;   "AllowContentTypes": true,
;   "BaseTemplate": 100,
;  "ContentTypesEnabled": true,
;  "Description": "My list description",
;  "Title": "Test"
; }

; This example will create a folder named ChilkatTest in /Documents

$oReq = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
$oReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
$oReq.Path = "/_api/web/lists"

; We need to add a form digest value in the X-RequestDigest header field.
; See this example for details on
; how to get (and cache) a form digest value
$oReq.AddHeader "X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST"

; Set the Content-Type, and indicate that a JSON response is desired.
$oReq.ContentType = "application/json;odata=verbose"
$oReq.AddHeader "Accept","application/json;odata=verbose"

; Create and add the JSON body.

$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJson.UpdateString("__metadata.type","SP.List")
$oJson.UpdateBool("AllowContentTypes",True)
$oJson.UpdateInt("BaseTemplate",100)
$oJson.UpdateBool("ContentTypesEnabled",True)
$oJson.UpdateString("Description","My list description")
$oJson.UpdateString("Title","Test")

; Send the POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
Local $bUseTls = True
Local $oResp = $oHttp.SynchronousRequest("SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN",443,$bUseTls,$oReq)
If ($oHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; The response body contains JSON.
$oJson.Load($oResp.BodyStr)
$oJson.EmitCompact = False

; The expected success response code is 201.
; (Let's also check for 200, just in case things change..)
If (($oResp.StatusCode <> 200) And ($oResp.StatusCode <> 201)) Then
    ConsoleWrite("Response status code = " & $oResp.StatusCode & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite($oJson.Emit() & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Failed" & @CRLF)

    Exit

; Show the successful JSON response.
