SharePoint -- Check In a File

In SharePoint, you can check out a file to make sure nobody can change it before you update it. After updating, you can check in the file. This example shows how to check in a SharePoint file. Delphi ActiveX

uses
    Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,

success := 0;

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

http := TChilkatHttp.Create(Self);

// 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 will check in the file named "penguins2.jpg" 
// which is located in the "/Documents" folder.

req := TChilkatHttpRequest.Create(Self);
req.HttpVerb := 'POST';
// Note that our path uses GetFileByServerRelativeUrl and not GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl
// Also, if your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, the URL is formatted like this (where "teamA" is the name of the site)
// /sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Documents/penguins2.jpg')/CheckIn(comment='Comment',checkintype=0)
req.Path := '/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(''/Documents/penguins2.jpg'')/CheckIn(comment=''Comment'',checkintype=0)';

// 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 POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
bUseTls := 1;
resp := TChilkatHttpResponse.Create(Self);
success := http.HttpSReq('SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN',443,bUseTls,req.ControlInterface,resp.ControlInterface);
if (success = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(http.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// The response body contains XML.
xml := TChilkatXml.Create(Self);
xml.LoadXml(resp.BodyStr);

if (resp.StatusCode <> 200) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add('Response status code = ' + IntToStr(resp.StatusCode));
    Memo1.Lines.Add(xml.GetXml());
    Memo1.Lines.Add('Failed');
    Exit;
  end;

// Show the successful XML response.
Memo1.Lines.Add(xml.GetXml());
Memo1.Lines.Add('Success.');

// A successful XML response looks like this:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <d:CheckIn xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices"
