Zig Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

WebDAV PROPFIND

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a WebDAV PROPFIND HTTP request. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const req = try chilkat.HttpRequest.init();
    defer req.deinit();
    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();

    // 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.setHttpVerb("PROPFIND");

    // The Content-Type should be "application/xml", and
    // the charset attribute in the Content-Type header should
    // be utf-8:
    req.setContentType("application/xml");
    req.setCharset("utf-8");
    req.setSendCharset(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:
    const xml_body = "This is the string that should contain the XML body...";
    req.loadBodyFromString(xml_body, "utf-8") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try req.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // 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:

    const resp = try chilkat.HttpResponse.init();
    defer resp.deinit();
    http.httpSReq("webdav.chilkatstorage.com", 443, true, req, resp) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Get the XML response:
    const response_xml = try resp.getBodyStr(alloc);
    std.debug.print("XML Response: {s}\n", .{response_xml});

    // Get the response status code, such as 207
    const status_code = resp.getStatusCode();
    std.debug.print("StatusCode = {d}\n", .{status_code});
