        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);

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

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    //  If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
    //  Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
    http.put_Login("SHAREPOINT_USERNAME");
    http.put_Password("SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD");
    http.put_LoginDomain("SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN");
    http.put_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

    //  To create a folder, we're going to POST to
    //  https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/folders
    //  with a request body containing the following JSON:
    //  
    //      { "__metadata": { "type": "SP.Folder" }, "ServerRelativeUrl": "/document_library_relative_url/newFolderName"}

    //  This example will create a folder named ChilkatTest in /Documents

    //  Note: if your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, you must add the site name "/sites/teamA" to both the Path and the ServerRelativeUrl

    CkHttpRequest req = new CkHttpRequest();
    req.put_HttpVerb("POST");
    //  If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "/sites/teamA/_api/web/folders" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
    req.put_Path("/_api/web/folders");

    //  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");

    //  Set the Content-Type, and indicate that a JSON response is desired.
    req.put_ContentType("application/json;odata=verbose");
    req.AddHeader("Accept","application/json;odata=verbose");

    //  Create and add the JSON body.
    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.UpdateString("__metadata.type","SP.Folder");
    //  If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "/sites/teamA/Documents/ChilkatTest" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
    json.UpdateString("ServerRelativeUrl","/Documents/ChilkatTest");
    req.LoadBodyFromString(json.emit(),"utf-8");

    //  Send the POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
    boolean bUseTls = true;

        return;
        }

    //  The response body contains JSON.
    json.Load(resp.bodyStr());
    json.put_EmitCompact(false);

    //  The expected success response code is 201.
    //  (Let's also check for 200, just in case things change..)
    if ((resp.get_StatusCode() != 200) && (resp.get_StatusCode() != 201)) {
        System.out.println("Response status code = " + resp.get_StatusCode());
        System.out.println(json.emit());

        return;
        }

    //  Show the successful JSON response.
    System.out.println(json.emit());
    System.out.println("Success.");
