Connect to Apache WEBDAV and send back XML

[J H <do...@hotmail.com>]

Hi.  I found the HTTP-commons library and I was absolutely ecstatic!  I 
would appreciate some help though...I'm not sure how to coax it to send data 
other than html...I've tried to set the request header to 
method.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","content=\"text/xml\""); and it still 
sends back the response in html format...

What I'm trying to do is create a java applet (client-side) to access the 
Tomcat Webdav server.  I have successfully connected to the WEBDav server 
with Digest authentication, but it returns the results in HTML which are 
rather cumbersome to parse.  I would really appreciate ANY ideas.

--Jeff

I too use the HttpClient library to connect to a WebDAV server.

I suspect what you want to do is get the webdavlib.jar file from the 
Jakarta Slide project.  The library in the Slide project includes 
support for all of the WebDAV & DeltaV extensions to HTTP.  I've worked 
on both libraries to help ensure that they interoperate.  One note, 
though - the Slide library expects to work with HttpClient 2.0rc2, not 
the latest trunk release.

If I had to guess, you're attempting to get the contents of a folder, 
which requires the PROPFIND WebDAV request.  Check out the 
PropFindMethod class in that library.
