set req [new_CkHttpRequest]

set http [new_CkHttp]

#  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";
CkHttpRequest_put_HttpVerb $req "PROPFIND"

#  The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
#  the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
#  be utf-8:
CkHttpRequest_put_ContentType $req "application/xml"
CkHttpRequest_put_Charset $req "utf-8"
CkHttpRequest_put_SendCharset $req 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:
set xmlBody "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
set success [CkHttpRequest_LoadBodyFromString $req $xmlBody "utf-8"]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkHttpRequest_lastErrorText $req]
    delete_CkHttpRequest $req
    delete_CkHttp $http
    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:

set resp [new_CkHttpResponse]

set success [CkHttp_HttpSReq $http "webdav.chilkatstorage.com" 443 1 $req $resp]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkHttp_lastErrorText $http]
    delete_CkHttpRequest $req
    delete_CkHttp $http
    delete_CkHttpResponse $resp
    exit
}

#  Get the XML response:

set responseXml [CkHttpResponse_bodyStr $resp]
puts "XML Response: $responseXml"

#  Get the response status code, such as 207

set statusCode [CkHttpResponse_get_StatusCode $resp]
puts "StatusCode = $statusCode"

delete_CkHttpRequest $req
delete_CkHttp $http
delete_CkHttpResponse $resp
