Delphi DLL Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Delphi DLL

var
success: Boolean;
req: HCkHttpRequest;
http: HCkHttp;
xmlBody: PWideChar;
resp: HCkHttpResponse;
responseXml: PWideChar;
statusCode: Integer;

begin
success := False;

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

req := CkHttpRequest_Create();
http := CkHttp_Create();

//  The PROPFIND request to be sent will look similar to this:
//  This is from RFC 4918 at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9.1.3

//       PROPFIND /file HTTP/1.1
//       Host: www.example.com
//       Content-type: application/xml; charset="utf-8";
//       Content-Length: xxxx
//  
//       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//       <D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:">
//         <D:prop xmlns:R="http://ns.example.com/boxschema/">
//           <R:bigbox/>
//           <R:author/>
//           <R:DingALing/>
//           <R:Random/>
//         </D:prop>
//       </D:propfind>

//  Build the HTTP request object. 

//  The HTTP verb should be "PROPFIND";
CkHttpRequest_putHttpVerb(req,'PROPFIND');

//  The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
//  the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
//  be utf-8:
CkHttpRequest_putContentType(req,'application/xml');
CkHttpRequest_putCharset(req,'utf-8');
CkHttpRequest_putSendCharset(req,True);

//  Load the request body with the XML.  Your application 
//  is free to construct the XML using any means desired.
//  Once the XML is prepared, load it into the request body
//  like this:
xmlBody := 'This is the string that should contain the XML body...';
success := CkHttpRequest_LoadBodyFromString(req,xmlBody,'utf-8');
if (success = False) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(CkHttpRequest__lastErrorText(req));
    Exit;
  end;

//  For this example, pretend the WEBDAV endpoint is:
//  https://webdav.chilkatstorage.com/

//  Note: There is no actual "chilkatstorage.com" site.  
//  This is only an example...

//  The "path" part of this endpoint URL is simply "/".

//  Send the request to the WebDAV endpoint using 
//  the HttpSReq method:

resp := CkHttpResponse_Create();
success := CkHttp_HttpSReq(http,'webdav.chilkatstorage.com',443,True,req,resp);
if (success = False) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(CkHttp__lastErrorText(http));
    Exit;
  end;

//  Get the XML response:

responseXml := CkHttpResponse__bodyStr(resp);
Memo1.Lines.Add('XML Response: ' + responseXml);

//  Get the response status code, such as 207

statusCode := CkHttpResponse_getStatusCode(resp);
Memo1.Lines.Add('StatusCode = ' + IntToStr(statusCode));

CkHttpRequest_Dispose(req);
CkHttp_Dispose(http);
CkHttpResponse_Dispose(resp);
