    // 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 != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkHttpRequest_lastErrorText(req));
        CkHttpRequest_Dispose(req);
        CkHttp_Dispose(http);
        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 SynchronousRequest method:

    resp = CkHttp_SynchronousRequest(http,"webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,TRUE,req);
    if (CkHttp_getLastMethodSuccess(http) == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkHttp_lastErrorText(http));
        CkHttpRequest_Dispose(req);
        CkHttp_Dispose(http);
        return;
    }

    // Get the XML response:

    responseXml = CkHttpResponse_bodyStr(resp);
    printf("XML Response: %s\n",responseXml);

    // Get the response status code, such as 207

    statusCode = CkHttpResponse_getStatusCode(resp);
    printf("StatusCode = %d\n",statusCode);

    CkHttpResponse_Dispose(resp);


    CkHttpRequest_Dispose(req);
