// 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];

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 = 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 != YES) {
    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 SynchronousRequest method:
CkoHttpResponse *resp = 0;

resp = [http SynchronousRequest: @"webdav.chilkatstorage.com" port: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 443] ssl: YES req: req];
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == 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);
