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

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 delete the folder /Documents/ChilkatTest2

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
// 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.
req.Path = "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/ChilkatTest2')"

// 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"

// Add additional required headers.
req.AddHeader "IF-MATCH","*"
req.AddHeader "X-HTTP-Method","DELETE"

// Send the POST using https (TLS). (Port 443 is the default port for https.)
Dim bUseTls As Boolean
bUseTls = True

resp = http.SynchronousRequest("SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN",443,bUseTls,req)

    Return
End If

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

// Note: It seems that if an attempt is made to delete a folder that does not exist,
// the response status code is 200, indicating success.
If (resp.StatusCode <> 200) Then
    System.DebugLog("Response status code = " + Str(resp.StatusCode))
    System.DebugLog(xml.GetXml())
    System.DebugLog("Failed")

    Return

// If successful, the response body is empty.
