Class PropFindMethod

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethod, DepthSupport

    public class PropFindMethod
    extends XMLResponseMethodBase
    implements DepthSupport
    This class implements the WebDAV PROPFIND Method.

    The PROPFIND method retrieves properties defined on the resource identified by the Request-URI, if the resource does not have any internal members, or on the resource identified by the Request-URI and potentially its member resources, if the resource is a collection that has internal member URIs.

    A typical request looks like this:

    
     PROPFIND /file HTTP/1.1
     Host: www.foo.bar
     Content-type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
     Content-Length: xxxx
    
     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
       <D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:">
       <D:prop xmlns:R="http://www.foo.bar/boxschema/">
         <R:bigbox/>
         <R:author/>
         <R:DingALing/>
         <R:Random/>
       </D:prop>
     </D:propfind>
