PowerShell Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$req = New-Object Chilkat.HttpRequest
$http = New-Object 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 = $true

#  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 -eq $false) {
    $($req.LastErrorText)
    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-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,$true,$req,$resp)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

#  Get the XML response:

$responseXml = $resp.BodyStr
$("XML Response: " + $responseXml)

#  Get the response status code, such as 207

$statusCode = $resp.StatusCode
$("StatusCode = " + $statusCode)
