# 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 -ne $true) {
    $($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 SynchronousRequest method:

$resp = $http.SynchronousRequest("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,$true,$req)
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -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)
