VB.NET Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim req As New Chilkat.HttpRequest
Dim http As New 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:
Dim xmlBody As String = "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
success = req.LoadBodyFromString(xmlBody,"utf-8")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(req.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  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:

Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com",443,True,req,resp)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Get the XML response:
Dim responseXml As String
responseXml = resp.BodyStr
Debug.WriteLine("XML Response: " & responseXml)

'  Get the response status code, such as 207
Dim statusCode As Integer
statusCode = resp.StatusCode
Debug.WriteLine("StatusCode = " & statusCode)
