WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

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

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
