Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Xbase++

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

oReq := CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
oHttp := CreateObject("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";
oReq:HttpVerb := "PROPFIND"

//  The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
//  the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
//  be utf-8:
oReq:ContentType := "application/xml"
oReq:Charset := "utf-8"
oReq:SendCharset := 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:
cXmlBody := "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
nSuccess := oReq:LoadBodyFromString(cXmlBody, "utf-8")
IF (nSuccess == 0)
    ? oReq:LastErrorText
    oReq:destroy()
    oHttp:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  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:

oResp := CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
nSuccess := oHttp:HttpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com", 443, 1, oReq, oResp)
IF (nSuccess == 0)
    ? oHttp:LastErrorText
    oReq:destroy()
    oHttp:destroy()
    oResp:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  Get the XML response:

cResponseXml := oResp:BodyStr
? "XML Response: " + cResponseXml

//  Get the response status code, such as 207

nStatusCode := oResp:StatusCode
? "StatusCode = " + Str(nStatusCode)

oReq:destroy()
oHttp:destroy()
