Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local req = chilkat.HttpRequest.new()
local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- 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.http_verb = "PROPFIND"

-- The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
-- the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
-- be utf-8:
req.content_type = "application/xml"
req.charset = "utf-8"
req.send_charset = 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:
local xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
local success = req:load_body_from_string(xmlBody, "utf-8")
if not success then
    print(req.last_error_text)
    return
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:

local resp = chilkat.HttpResponse.new()
success = http:http_sreq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com", 443, true, req, resp)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Get the XML response:
local responseXml = resp.body_str
print("XML Response: " .. responseXml)

-- Get the response status code, such as 207
local statusCode = resp.status_code
print("StatusCode = " .. statusCode)
