WebDAV PROPFIND

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. PHP ActiveX

<?php

$success = 0;

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

$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");
$http = new COM("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"
$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 = 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 == 0) {
    print $req->LastErrorText . "\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 HttpSReq method:

$resp = new COM("Chilkat.HttpResponse");
$success = $http->HttpSReq('webdav.chilkatstorage.com',443,1,$req,$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the XML response:

$responseXml = $resp->BodyStr;
print 'XML Response: ' . $responseXml . "\n";

// Get the response status code, such as 207

$statusCode = $resp->StatusCode;
print 'StatusCode = ' . $statusCode . "\n";
