This example shows how to get the properties of a SharePoint folder. Specifically, it gets the properties of one of our test folders named "Briefing 02032017". Unicode C++

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  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"

    CkHttpW http;

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

    //  Indicate that we want a JSON reply
    http.put_Accept(L"application/json;odata=verbose");
    http.put_AcceptCharset(L"utf-8");

    //  If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Briefing 02032017')" where "teamA" is the name of the site.

    wprintf(L"Number of items: %d\n",itemCount);
