(PowerBuilder) SharePoint Online Authentication

Demonstrates how to authenticate with SharePoint Online. The end result of authentication is to establish an HTTP cookie, named "SPOIDCRL", that contains a binary security token to be sent in subsequent SharePoint HTTPS requests.

The SPOIDCRL cookie can be persisted to a file and re-used in subsequent application runs.

Important: This example uses a method, SharePointOnlineAuth, that is introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.73.

Also Important: Chilkat realizes there may be cases where your situation is such that it does not work, and something additional is required to make it work. If the example does not work out-of-the-box, please send email to support@chilkatsoft.com. The information logged to the LastErrorText property has been carefully crafted to help solve problems quickly. Also, the JSON argument to the SharePointOnlineAuth method provides a means to include additional information, whatever it may be, to handle future unknown situations.

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// IMPORTANT:
// The purpose of the SharePointOnlineAuth method is to establish the SPOIDCRL cookie that will automatically be
// included in subsequent requests using the *** same HTTP object instance. ***
// If later you create a new HTTP object instance, then you'll need to re-establish the SPOIDCRL cookie before sending 
// a Sharepoint HTTP request.
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// SharePoint authenticated requests may now be sent because the authentication cookie is automatically included.
// For example:
loo_SbResponseXml = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_SbResponseXml.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

// If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Documents')/Files" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
