Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Rust

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

let req = chilkat::HttpRequest::new();
let http = chilkat::Http::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.set_http_verb("PROPFIND");

// The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
// the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
// be utf-8:
req.set_content_type("application/xml");
req.set_charset("utf-8");
req.set_send_charset(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:
let xml_body = "This is the string that should contain the XML body...".to_string();
if req.load_body_from_string(&xml_body, "utf-8").is_err() {
    println!("{}", req.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// 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:

let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_s_req("webdav.chilkatstorage.com", 443, true, &req, &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the XML response:
let response_xml = resp.body_str();
println!("XML Response: {}", response_xml);

// Get the response status code, such as 207
let status_code = resp.status_code();
println!("StatusCode = {}", status_code);
