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

CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

//  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
//  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = @"SHAREPOINT_USERNAME";

http.LoginDomain = @"SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN";

//  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

//  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.

//  how to get (and cache) a form digest value

//  Add additional required headers.

//  the response status code is 200, indicating success.
