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

'  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The following comments apply to SharePoint Windows classic authentication.
'  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  For example, imagine our SharePoint endpoint is https://xyzoffice.mycompany.com/
'  The SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN would be "mycompany.com"
'  The SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN would be "xyzoffice.mycompany.com"
'  Also, the SHAREPOINT_USERNAME would be just the name, not a full email address.
'  for example, "chilkat" instead of "chilkat@mycompany.com"

set http = Server.CreateObject("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 = 1

'  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  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 downloads a CSV file that is utf-8 and contains Japanese characters.

url = "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/ChilkatTest/japanese.csv')/$value"

http.AcceptCharset = "utf-8"

strCsv = http.QuickGetStr(url)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

'  The CSV file is contained in strCsv.
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "CSV:") & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( strCsv) & "</pre>"

'  Note: The HTTP response hopefully indicates the charset of the response,
'  and Chilkat should receive the string correctly.  If the response sent by
'  SharePoint does not indicate a charset, or indicates an incorrect charset,
'  then we can instead download the text file as binary data and interpret the
'  bytes ourselves correctly.  For example:  

set bd = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.BinData")
success = http.QuickGetBd(url,bd)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

'  Interpret the bytes correctly as utf-8
set sb = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sb.AppendBd(bd,"utf-8",0,0)
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "CSV:") & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sb.GetAsString()) & "</pre>"
