* 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

* To create a folder, we're going to POST to
* https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/folders
* with a request body containing the following JSON:
* 
*     { "__metadata": { "type": "SP.Folder" }, "ServerRelativeUrl": "/document_library_relative_url/newFolderName"}

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

* Note: if your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, you must add the site name "/sites/teamA" to both the Path and the ServerRelativeUrl

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"
* If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "/sites/teamA/_api/web/folders" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
loReq.Path = "/_api/web/folders"

* 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")

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

* Create and add the JSON body.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.UpdateString("__metadata.type","SP.Folder")
* If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "/sites/teamA/Documents/ChilkatTest" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
loJson.UpdateString("ServerRelativeUrl","/Documents/ChilkatTest")
loReq.LoadBodyFromString(loJson.Emit(),"utf-8")

* Send the POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
lnBUseTls = 1
loResp = loHttp.SynchronousRequest("SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN",443,lnBUseTls,loReq)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loJson
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The response body contains JSON.
loJson.Load(loResp.BodyStr)
loJson.EmitCompact = 0

* The expected success response code is 201.
* (Let's also check for 200, just in case things change..)
IF ((loResp.StatusCode <> 200) AND (loResp.StatusCode <> 201)) THEN
    ? "Response status code = " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
    ? loJson.Emit()
    ? "Failed"
    RELEASE loResp
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loJson
    CANCEL
ENDIF

RELEASE loResp

* Show the successful JSON response.
? loJson.Emit()
? "Success."

* A successful JSON response looks like this:

* { 
*   "d": { 
*     "__metadata": { 
*       "id": "Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/ChilkatTest')",
*       "uri": "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/ChilkatTest')",
