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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    // If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
    // Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
    http.SetLogin("SHAREPOINT_USERNAME")
    http.SetPassword("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD")
    http.SetLoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN")
    http.SetNtlmAuth(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

    // To create a list, we're going to POST to
    // https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/lists
    // with a request body containing the following JSON:
    // 
    // {
    //   "__metadata": {
    //     "type": "SP.List"
    //   },
    //   "AllowContentTypes": true,
    //   "BaseTemplate": 100,
    //  "ContentTypesEnabled": true,
    //  "Description": "My list description",
    //  "Title": "Test"
    // }

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