_Folder Class Creates Folder If It Does Not Exist

[f-thomson]

Just letting everyone know that the _Folder class will actually start generating folders if it does not exist. So I ended up generating ~20 folders by accident...Woops! To fix this I extended the class so it would send a get request rather than post

class ExtendedFolder(folder._Folder):
    def _create_folder(self):
        update_data = {}
        update_data['__metadata'] = {'type': 'SP.Folder'}
        update_data['ServerRelativeUrl'] = self.folder_name
        body = json.dumps(update_data)

        url = self.site_url + f"/_api/web/folders"

        headers = {'Accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
                   'Content-Type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
                   'X-RequestDigest': self.contextinfo['FormDigestValue']}

        response = request_helper.get(self._session, url=url, headers=headers, data=body, timeout=self.timeout)

        return response.json()

just an fyi because the folder names can change in my use case
