(C#) WebDAV PROPFIND

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request.

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

Chilkat.HttpRequest req = new Chilkat.HttpRequest();
Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

bool success;

// 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:
string xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body...";
success = req.LoadBodyFromString(xmlBody,"utf-8");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(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 SynchronousRequest method:
Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = null;

resp = http.SynchronousRequest("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,true,req);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Get the XML response:
string responseXml;
responseXml = resp.BodyStr;
Debug.WriteLine("XML Response: " + responseXml);

// Get the response status code, such as 207
int statusCode;
statusCode = resp.StatusCode;
Debug.WriteLine("StatusCode = " + Convert.ToString(statusCode));
