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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* Use your previously obtained access token here:
loHttp.AuthToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN"

* This example will copy /Inbox/abc/subFolderA and its contents to /Inbox/xyz
* We'll need the folder ids for both source and destination folders..

* Get the folder IDs from the folder map created by this example 
loHtFolderMap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Hashtable')
loSbMap = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbMap.LoadFile("qa_data/outlook/folderMap.xml","utf-8")
loHtFolderMap.AddFromXmlSb(loSbMap)

* Get the IDs for the source and destination folders.
lcSrcFolderId = loHtFolderMap.LookupStr("/Inbox/abc/subFolderA")
IF (loHtFolderMap.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Folder ID not found"
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loHtFolderMap
    RELEASE loSbMap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lcDstFolderId = loHtFolderMap.LookupStr("/Inbox/xyz")
IF (loHtFolderMap.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Destination folder ID not found"
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loHtFolderMap
    RELEASE loSbMap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Create a JSON request body with this content:
* 
* 		{
* 		  "DestinationId": "destinationId-value"
* 		}

loJsonRequestBody = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonRequestBody.UpdateString("DestinationId",lcDstFolderId)

loHttp.SetUrlVar("src_folder_id",lcSrcFolderId)

* Copy the source folder to the new location
loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpJson("POST","https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{$src_folder_id}/copy",loJsonRequestBody,"application/json",loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loHtFolderMap
    RELEASE loSbMap
    RELEASE loJsonRequestBody
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* A 201 response indicates success.
IF (loResp.StatusCode = 201) THEN
    ? "Folder copied."
ELSE
    ? "Response status code = " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
    ? "Error: Folder not copied."
ENDIF

* Show the response in both cases..
loJsonResponse = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonResponse.EmitCompact = 0
loJsonResponse.Load(loResp.BodyStr)
? loJsonResponse.Emit()

* A sample successful JSON response looks like this:

* 	{
* 	  "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#mailFolder",
* 	  "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.mailFolder",
* 	  "id": "AQMkADAwATM0MDAAMS1iNTcwLWI2NTEtMDACLTAwCgAuAAADsVyfxjDU406Ic4X7ill8xAEA5_vF7TKKdE6bGCRqXyl2PQAAAM6JqMAAAAA=",
