I'm not an expert but if I'm not mistaken the url given in that post is a cmis 1.0(which doesn't work for me either), you could try with the 1.1 one:
/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/root/sites/SITENAME/PATH/TO/YOUR/FOLDER?cmisselector=children

E.G: /alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/root/sites/testSite/documentLibrary/myFolder?cmisselector=children

I hope it works!

Thanks for the reply, i finally found it through:

/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/browser/root/sites/SITENAME/documentLibrary/FOLDERNAME

This works either with FOLDERNAME or without.

What also really helps is this page: /alfresco/s/index (log in with an (admin)-account), which lists all possible API-endpoints.
