Ruby Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

#  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(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 == false)
    print req.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  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 = Chilkat::CkHttpResponse.new()
success = http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,true,req,resp)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  Get the XML response:

responseXml = resp.bodyStr()
print "XML Response: " + responseXml + "\n";

#  Get the response status code, such as 207

statusCode = resp.get_StatusCode()
print "StatusCode = " + statusCode.to_s() + "\n";
