function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var req = new chilkat.HttpRequest();
    var http = 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:
    var xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body...";
    success = req.LoadBodyFromString(xmlBody,"utf-8");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(req.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // 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:

    var resp = new chilkat.HttpResponse();
    success = http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,true,req,resp);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(http.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Get the XML response:
    var responseXml;
    responseXml = resp.BodyStr;
    console.log("XML Response: " + responseXml);

    // Get the response status code, such as 207
    var statusCode;
    statusCode = resp.StatusCode;
    console.log("StatusCode = " + statusCode);
