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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

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

http.put_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

#  Indicate that we want a JSON reply
http.put_Accept("application/json;odata=verbose")

#  Only persons who have Full Control or Design permissions can approve or reject
#  items or files in a list or library that requires approval. Other site users
#  can only view what they have permission to view or what they have uploaded
#  themselves.
# 
#  Important:  Approval or rejection of items or files in lists or libraries must
#  be done one at a time. You cannot approve or reject multiple items or files in
#  one operation.
