The WebDAV Control implements an easy-to-use interface to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol.

Syntax

WebDAV

Remarks

The WebDAV Control is designed to interact with the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. This control offers robust support for both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections. When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

Remote Resource Management

The WebDAV Control enables remote management of resource properties and collections, offering a comprehensive set of operations including creation, deletion, listing, copying, moving, and resource locking.

Listing Directories

The ListDirectory method is used to list the resources from a specific URI. Depending on the Depth property (see below) the scope of the list changes. For each resource found, the control fires the DirList once and also populates the Resources properties.

Downloading Resources

The GetResource method is used to retrieve the data of a resource from a WebDAV server. The data is stored in the file from the LocalFile property or the TransferredData property respectively.

Uploading Resources

The PutResource method is used to send data to the WebDAV server using the PUT method to the specified resource URI. The data is taken from the the file from the LocalFile property.

Finding Properties

The FindProperties method is used to find the properties of a specific resource (or multiple resource depending on the Depth property). This search can be filtered by adding items to the Properties properties, one item for each property. This method will populate then populate the Properties properties (clearing the collection) and fire the ResourceProperties event once for each found property.

Depth

Note: Some servers (such as IIS 7.5) may not support a depth of Infinity by default and may return the response HTTP 403 Forbidden.

Namespaces

The namespaces are provided in the Namespaces properties, which is filled automatically when retrieving DAV responses, but must be filled manually when requesting nonstandard properties.

Accept Property (WebDAV Control)

This property includes a list of acceptable MIME types for the request.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.Accept[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

If this property contains a nonempty string, an HTTP Accept header is added to the request.

The Accept header is used for content negotiation. It provides the server with a comma-separated list of MIME types that are acceptable for its response.

Data Type

String

Authorization Property (WebDAV Control)

This property includes the Authorization string to be sent to the server.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.Authorization[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the Authorization property contains a nonempty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.

This property is provided so that the HTTP control can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the control.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

Data Type

String

AuthScheme Property (WebDAV Control)

This property specifies the authentication scheme to use when server authentication is required.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.AuthScheme[=integer]

Possible Values

authNtlm(4), 
authNegotiate(5), 
authOAuth(6)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property will tell the control which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set.

This property should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed.

By default, this property is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the control will attempt HTTP Basic Authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), authNtlm (4), or authNegotiate (5), then Digest, NTLM, or Windows Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token must be supplied through the Authorization property.

If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6), then the authorization string must be supplied through the Authorization property.

Note: If you set the Authorization property and AuthScheme is not authProprietary or authOAuth, then the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the control.

For security, changing the value of this property will cause the control to clear the values of User, Password, and Authorization.

FollowRedirects Property (WebDAV Control)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.FollowRedirects[=integer]

Possible Values

frNever(0), 
frAlways(1), 
frSameScheme(2)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the control returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the control fails with an error.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the control fails with an error instead.

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (WebDAV Control)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.LocalHost[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the control is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Data Type

String

LockOwner Property (WebDAV Control)

Syntax

webdavcontrol.LockTimeout[=integer]

Default Value

0

Remarks

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockTimeout may be set to a specific amount of time needed for the locked operation to take place. The timeout is used to determine how long the lock may exist before the server automatically unlocks the resource URI. If Timeout of 0 is specified, the server will use a default timeout. After a successful LockResource operation, the control will set the LockTimeout property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Data Type

Integer

LockToken Property (WebDAV Control)

The lock string to be used when submitting operations on a locked resource.

Syntax

Config Method (WebDAV Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.CopyResource SourceResourceURI, DestinationResourceURI

Remarks

The CopyResource method will copy the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI using the WebDAV COPY method.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to 0, the control will copy only SourceResourceURI. If Depth is set to infinity, the control will copy SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to locations relative to it.

If the user has acquired a LockResource of infinite depth on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

DeleteResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method deletes a resource.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.DeleteResource ResourceURI

Remarks

The resource or collection specified by ResourceURIis deleted using the WebDAV DELETE method. The DeleteResource method behaves independently of the Depth property. If ResourceURI denotes a collection, the server behaves as if the command were issued with an infinite depth (i.e., all internal member URIs denoting single resources or collections are deleted). If ResourceURI denotes a non-collection resource, it is first removed from any collection that it contains, and then the resource is removed from the server.

DoEvents Method (WebDAV Control)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.DoEvents 

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

FindProperties Method (WebDAV Control)

This method is used to get resource property values from the server.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.FindProperties ResourceURI

Remarks

This method retrieves the properties for the resources using the WebDAV PROPFIND method. If there are properties (with names) set in the Properties properties then the values for only those properties will be requested. If no properties are set in the Properties properties, then the all the properties for the specified resource will be requested.

The response will populate the Properties properties and will fire the ResourceProperties event once for each property returned.

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 the response HTTP 403 Forbidden.

FindPropertyNames Method (WebDAV Control)

This method is used to get resource property names from the server.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.FindPropertyNames ResourceURI

Remarks

FindPropertyNames will request names of all the properties of ResourceURI. The matching URIs will be returned through one or more ResourceProperties events (one for each matching resource), and the property names will be provided through the Properties properties.

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 the response HTTP 403 Forbidden.

GetProperty Method (WebDAV Control)

This method is used to get the value for a particular property.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.GetProperty PropertyName

Remarks

The control will search through its internal Properties properties for the property identified by PropertyName and will return the value associated with it.

PropertyName may also be a partial XPath expression to the retrieved resource XML. This method is useful for reading values of composite properties.

Note: This method does not make a request to the WebDAV server for a list of properties. The FindProperties method must be called first to issue the WebDAV PROPFIND request and populate the Properties properties.

GetResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method uses a WebDAV GET method to get a resource.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.GetResource ResourceURI

Remarks

This method requests a resource using the WebDAV GET method. When the DAV server responds, the resource contents are delivered through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers are delivered through the Header event. Additionally, the resource contents are saved to the specified LocalFile or the TransferredData property respectively.

Interrupt Method (WebDAV Control)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.Interrupt 

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

ListDirectory Method (WebDAV Control)

This method lists the files and subdirectories of the ResourceURI .

Syntax

webdavcontrol.ListDirectory ResourceURI

Remarks

This method will return a list of resources from the specified URI. The results will be returned through one or more DirList events (one 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 the response HTTP 403 Forbidden.

LockResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method is used to obtain a lock for a specified resource.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.LockResource ResourceURI

Remarks

The LockResource method will request a new lock to be placed on ResourceURI in the user's name so that only the user can operate on it. The method is linked to a number of properties that it uses to generate the lock request:

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to 0, the control will lock only ResourceURI and its properties. If Depth is set to infinity, the control will lock ResourceURI and its entire subtree.

If MoveResource or CopyResource are used to place a resource or collection in a location under a resource locked with infinity, the new resource or collection will be added to the lock. Any lock on a collection will prevent nonlock owners from adding resources to that collection.

MakeDirectory Method (WebDAV Control)

This method can be used to make a new directory.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.MakeDirectory ResourceURI

Remarks

A new resource collection is created at the location specified by ResourceURI.

MoveResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method moves one resource to a new location.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.MoveResource SourceResourceURI, DestinationResourceURI

Remarks

The MoveResource method will move the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to 0, the control will move only SourceResourceURI. If Depth is set to infinity, the control will move SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to locations relative to it.

If the user has acquired a LockResource of infinite depth on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

PatchProperties Method (WebDAV Control)

This method updates the current set of properties on the server.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.PatchProperties ResourceURI

Remarks

When the user calls PatchProperties, the control will send a request to the server to update the existing property list. The method is linked to the Properties property: the control will use the Operation field to tell the server what to do with the properties.

PostToResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method posts data to a resource using the WebDAV POST method.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.PostToResource ResourceURI

Remarks

This method posts data to the resource ResourceURI using the WebDAV POST method. The posted data are taken from ResourceData. The server response text is received through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers are received through the Header event. If LocalFile property is not empty, the data (not the headers) are written there as well.

PutResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method sends data to the server using the PUT method.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.PutResource ResourceURI

Remarks

The data are taken from LocalFile. The server will normally require authentication for this operation, so User and Password must have valid values before the request is made.

Reset Method (WebDAV Control)

This method will reset the control.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.Reset 

Remarks

This method will reset the control's properties to their default values.

SendCustomRequest Method (WebDAV Control)

This method sends a custom request to the WebDAV server.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.SendCustomRequest HttpMethod, Url, RequestBody

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to a WebDAV server.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

• GET (default if empty)
• HEAD
• POST
• PUT
• PATCH
• PROPFIND
• PROPPATCH
• MKCOL
• COPY
• MOVE
• LOCK
• UNLOCK

The value passed for URL is used as the location the request is made to. The RequestBody parameter is used to provide the component with the request body for the request. If no request body is needed for the request, the RequestBody parameter should also then be set to an empty string. If preferred, the request body can be provided via the LocalFile property instead. When doing so, the RequestBody parameter must be set to an empty string.

Note, the LocalFile property is not cleared after the request is made and should be cleared by either calling Reset or be setting it to an empty string.

When the server responds, the control stores the response headers in the ParsedHeaders properties and the response body in the specified LocalFile or the TransferredData property (using the same logic as GetResource). If the response body is XML data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.

SetProperty Method (WebDAV Control)

This method sets the value of a property.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.SetProperty PropertyName, PropertyValue

Remarks

This method is used to set a single property to a certain value. The name and new value of the property must be supplied in the parameters for this method.

Note: This is the same as calling the PatchProperties on one property when the operation is opSet.

Example. Set Property:

Control.SetProperty("MyProperty", "MyValue")

is equivalent to: Control.PropertyCount = 1 Control.PropertyName(0) = "MyProperty" Control.PropertyValue(0) = "MyValue" Control.PropertyOperation(0) = opSet Control.PatchProperties()

UnLockResource Method (WebDAV Control)

This method unlocks a resource.

Syntax

webdavcontrol.UnLockResource ResourceURI

Remarks

Before calling UnLockResource on a particular resource, the LockToken property must be set to the lock token for ResourceURI. The method will remove the lock, allowing other users or nonprivileged users to access and operate on the file.

Connected Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Connected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

ConnectionStatus Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired to indicate changes in the connection state.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_ConnectionStatus(ConnectionEvent As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

This event is fired when the connection state changes: for example, completion of a firewall or proxy connection or completion of a security handshake.

The ConnectionEvent parameter indicates the type of connection event. Values may include the following:

DirList Event (WebDAV Control)

This event fires for each entry returned in a directory listing.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_DirList(ResourceURI As String, DisplayName As String, ContentLanguage As String, ContentLength As Long64, ContentType As String, LastModified As String)

Remarks

The DirList event is fired when a directory listing is received as a response to ListDirectory.

The StartTransfer and EndTransfer events mark the beginning and the end of the event stream.

Disconnected Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Disconnected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) subsystem. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

EndTransfer Event (WebDAV Control)

This event is fired when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_EndTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Header Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

Log Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"
• "RequestHeaders"
• "ResponseHeaders"
• "RequestBody"
• "ResponseBody"
• "ProxyRequest"
• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

Redirect Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Redirect(Location As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the control fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

ResourceProperties Event (WebDAV Control)

This event fires for each entry returned through a property search.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_ResourceProperties(ResourceURI As String, ResourceProperties As String)

Remarks

The ResourceProperties event is fired when resource properties are received as a response to FindProperties.

The StartTransfer and EndTransfer events mark the beginning and end of the event stream.

The ResourceProperties contains the full XML containing the properties of the resource.

ResourceURI contains the name of the resource.

The parsed property names, values, and status are contained within the Properties properties.

SetCookie Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired for every cookie set by the server.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_SetCookie(Name As String, Value As String, Expires As String, Domain As String, Path As String, Secure As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.

The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.

The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.

The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.

The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.

The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (WebDAV Control)

This event is fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Status Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Status(HTTPVersion As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").

StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").

Transfer Event (WebDAV Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub webdavcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.

Config Settings (WebDAV Control)

WebDAV Config Settings

<firstlevel>
  <one>value</one>
  <two>
    <item>first</item>
    <item>second</item>
  </two>
