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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
# Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.put_Login("SHAREPOINT_USERNAME")
http.put_Password("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD")
http.put_LoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN")
http.put_NtlmAuth(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

# This example will both move and rename /Documents/starfish.jpg to /Documents/ChilkatTest/starfish2.jpg

# 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
req.AddHeader("X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST")
