//  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
xmlBody = "This is the string that should contain the XML body..."
success = req.LoadBodyFromString(xmlBody,"utf-8")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(req.LastErrorText)
    Return
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
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Get the XML response:
Dim responseXml As String
responseXml = resp.BodyStr
System.DebugLog("XML Response: " + responseXml)

//  Get the response status code, such as 207
Dim statusCode As Int32
statusCode = resp.StatusCode
System.DebugLog("StatusCode = " + Str(statusCode))
