WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. C#

bool success = false;

//  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();

//  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 == false) {
    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 HttpSReq method:

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = new Chilkat.HttpResponse();
success = http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,true,req,resp);
if (success == 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));
