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

// 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"
loo_Req.HttpVerb = "PROPFIND"

// The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
// the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
// be utf-8:
loo_Req.ContentType = "application/xml"
loo_Req.Charset = "utf-8"
loo_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:
ls_XmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
li_Success = loo_Req.LoadBodyFromString(ls_XmlBody,"utf-8")
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Req.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Req
    destroy loo_Http
    return
end if

// 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:

loo_Resp = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Resp.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse")

li_Success = loo_Http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,1,loo_Req,loo_Resp)
if li_Success = 0 then
    Write-Debug loo_Http.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Req
    destroy loo_Http
    destroy loo_Resp
    return
end if

// Get the XML response:

ls_ResponseXml = loo_Resp.BodyStr
Write-Debug "XML Response: " + ls_ResponseXml

// Get the response status code, such as 207

li_StatusCode = loo_Resp.StatusCode
Write-Debug "StatusCode = " + string(li_StatusCode)
