(Visual FoxPro) 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.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest')
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Http')
loHttp = CreateObject('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"
loReq.HttpVerb = "PROPFIND"

* The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
* the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
* be utf-8:
loReq.ContentType = "application/xml"
loReq.Charset = "utf-8"
loReq.SendCharset = 1

* 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:
lcXmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
lnSuccess = loReq.LoadBodyFromString(lcXmlBody,"utf-8")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loReq.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* 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:

loResp = loHttp.SynchronousRequest("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,1,loReq)
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the XML response:

lcResponseXml = loResp.BodyStr
? "XML Response: " + lcResponseXml

* Get the response status code, such as 207

lnStatusCode = loResp.StatusCode
? "StatusCode = " + STR(lnStatusCode)

RELEASE loResp

RELEASE loReq
RELEASE loHttp
