* 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

* This example will delete the folder /Documents/ChilkatTest2

* 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/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Documents/ChilkatTest2')" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
loReq.Path = "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/ChilkatTest2')"

* 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")

* Add additional required headers.
loReq.AddHeader("IF-MATCH","*")
loReq.AddHeader("X-HTTP-Method","DELETE")

* 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
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* If failed, the response body contains XML 
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml')
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')
loXml.LoadXml(loResp.BodyStr)

* Note: It seems that if an attempt is made to delete a folder that does not exist,
* the response status code is 200, indicating success.
IF (loResp.StatusCode <> 200) THEN
    ? "Response status code = " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
    ? loXml.GetXml()
    ? "Failed"
    RELEASE loResp
    RELEASE loHttp

* If successful, the response body is empty.
