WebDAVS Bean
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The WebDAVS Component implements an easy-to-use interface to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV).
Syntax
IPWorksSSL.Webdavs
Remarks
The WebDAVS Bean is the SSL-enabled equivalent of the IP*Works! WebDAV Bean. The main difference is the introduction of a set of new configuration settings, properties and events that deal with SSL security. The SSLEnabledProtocols and SSLCipherStrength configuration settings determine which protocols are enabled and at what security level. The SSLCert property is used to select a client certificate if the server is requesting client authentication. The SSLSecurityFlags configuration setting, together with the SSLServerAuthentication event allow you to check the server identity and other security attributes. Finally, the SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake.
The bean allows remote management of resource properties and collection , including creation, deletion, listing, copying, and moving. Resource locking is also supported.
The ListDirectory and FindProperties methods will list the properties of a resource collection or resource, and a DirList or ResourceProperties event will be fired for each matching resource.
Depth is used to determine which resources or properties are retrieved from the server. A depth of ResourceOnly will return only the resource associated with ResourceURI, or its properties. A depth of Infinity will return all resources contained within hierarchy, or their collective properties.
Note: Some servers (such as IIS 7.5) may not support a depth of Infinity by default and may return a HTTP 403 Forbidden response.
A number of operations can be performed on resources by using the various methods of the bean. Please refer to the individual methods for more information.
WebDAV allows non-standard properties to be specified through XML namespaces.
The namespaces are provided in the Namespaces collection , which is filled automatically when retrieving DAV responses, but must be filled manually when requesting non-standard properties.
