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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

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

* Indicate that we want a JSON reply
loHttp.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose"

* Only persons who have Full Control or Design permissions can approve or reject
* items or files in a list or library that requires approval. Other site users
* can only view what they have permission to view or what they have uploaded
* themselves.
* 
* Important:  Approval or rejection of items or files in lists or libraries must
* be done one at a time. You cannot approve or reject multiple items or files in
* one operation.
* 

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
loReq.Path = "/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/ChilkatDocLibrary/sample.docx')/approve(comment='Check-in comment for the approval.')"

* 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
loReq.AddHeader("X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST")

* Send the request to approve the document.
