SharePoint -- Deny Approval

Denies approval for a file that was submitted for content approval.

Only documents in lists that are enabled for content approval can be denied.

Perl

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

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

# 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");

# 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

# Indicate that we want a JSON reply

# Only persons who have Full Control or Design permissions can approve or reject
# items or files in a list or library that requires approval. Other site users
# can only view what they have permission to view or what they have uploaded
# themselves.
# 
# Important:  Approval or rejection of items or files in lists or libraries must
# be done one at a time. You cannot approve or reject multiple items or files in
# one operation.
