Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

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

    CkHttpRequest req = new CkHttpRequest();
    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    //  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.put_HttpVerb("PROPFIND");

    //  The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
    //  the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
    //  be utf-8:
    req.put_ContentType("application/xml");
    req.put_Charset("utf-8");
    req.put_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) {
        System.out.println(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:

    CkHttpResponse resp = new CkHttpResponse();
    success = http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,true,req,resp);
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(http.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    //  Get the XML response:
    String responseXml;
    responseXml = resp.bodyStr();
    System.out.println("XML Response: " + responseXml);

    //  Get the response status code, such as 207
    int statusCode;
    statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode();
    System.out.println("StatusCode = " + statusCode);
  }
