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

http = chilkat2.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 = 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 will both move and rename /Documents/starfish.jpg to /Documents/ChilkatTest/starfish2.jpg

req = chilkat2.HttpRequest()
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.Path = "/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/starfish.jpg')/MoveTo(newurl='/Documents/ChilkatTest/starfish2.jpg',flags=1)"

# 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
req.AddHeader("X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST")

# Send the HTTPS POST.
bUseTls = True
# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.SynchronousRequest("SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN",443,bUseTls,req)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# If failed, the response body contains XML
xml = chilkat2.Xml()
xml.LoadXml(resp.BodyStr)

if (resp.StatusCode != 200):
    print("Response status code = " + str(resp.StatusCode))
    print(xml.GetXml())
    print("Failed")

    sys.exit()

# If successful, the response body is empty.
print("Success.")
