WebDAV PROPFIND

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

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

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

// 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"
req.HttpVerb = "PROPFIND"

// The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
// the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
// be utf-8:
req.ContentType = "application/xml"
req.Charset = "utf-8"
req.SendCharset = 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:
Dim xmlBody As String
xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
success = req.LoadBodyFromString(xmlBody,"utf-8")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(req.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// 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:

Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,True,req,resp)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Get the XML response:
Dim responseXml As String
responseXml = resp.BodyStr
System.DebugLog("XML Response: " + responseXml)

// Get the response status code, such as 207
Dim statusCode As Int32
statusCode = resp.StatusCode
System.DebugLog("StatusCode = " + Str(statusCode))
