Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

'  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the
'  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
http.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN"
http.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

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
req.Path = "/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/starfish.jpg')/MoveTo(newurl='/Documents/ChilkatTest/starfish2.jpg',flags=1)"

'  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")

'  Send the HTTPS POST.

If (http.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  If failed, the response body contains XML
Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
xml.LoadXml(resp.BodyStr)

If (resp.StatusCode <> 200) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Response status code = " & resp.StatusCode)

'  If successful, the response body is empty.
