WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Objective-C

#import <CkoHttpRequest.h>
#import <CkoHttp.h>
#import <NSString.h>
#import <CkoHttpResponse.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoHttpRequest *req = [[CkoHttpRequest alloc] init];
CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

//  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 = YES;

//  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:
NSString *xmlBody = @"This is the string that should contain the XML body...";
success = [req LoadBodyFromString: xmlBody charset: @"utf-8"];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",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:

CkoHttpResponse *resp = [[CkoHttpResponse alloc] init];
success = [http HttpSReq: @"webdav.chilkatstorage.com" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 443] ssl: YES request: req response: resp];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Get the XML response:
NSString *responseXml = 0;
responseXml = resp.BodyStr;
NSLog(@"%@%@",@"XML Response: ",responseXml);

//  Get the response status code, such as 207
int statusCode;
statusCode = [resp.StatusCode intValue];
NSLog(@"%@%d",@"StatusCode = ",statusCode);
