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

$req = chilkat::CkHttpRequest->new();
$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

# 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(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:
$xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body...";
$success = $req->LoadBodyFromString($xmlBody,"utf-8");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $req->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# 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:

# resp is a HttpResponse
$resp = $http->SynchronousRequest("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,1,$req);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Get the XML response:

$responseXml = $resp->bodyStr();
print "XML Response: " . $responseXml . "\r\n";

# Get the response status code, such as 207

$statusCode = $resp->get_StatusCode();
print "StatusCode = " . $statusCode . "\r\n";
