Discover what the server supports

The following example shows you how to find out what a WebDAV server supports: the compliance classes, locking, the allowed methods and SEARCH.

C# example

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Independentsoft.Webdav;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                ServerOptions options = await client.GetOptions("");

                Console.WriteLine("WebDAV server: " + options.IsWebdav);
                Console.WriteLine("Supports locking: " + options.SupportsLocking);
                Console.WriteLine("Supports SEARCH: " + options.SupportsSearch);
                Console.WriteLine("Compliance classes: " + string.Join(", ", options.DavCompliance));
                Console.WriteLine("Allowed methods: " + string.Join(", ", options.AllowedMethods));
            }
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
Imports Independentsoft.Webdav

Namespace Sample
    Module Program
        Sub Main(args As String())
            RunAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult()
        End Sub

        Private Async Function RunAsync() As Task
            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)
                client.BaseAddress = New Uri("https://myserver/dav/")

                Dim options As ServerOptions = Await client.GetOptions("")

                Console.WriteLine("WebDAV server: " & options.IsWebdav)
                Console.WriteLine("Supports locking: " & options.SupportsLocking)
                Console.WriteLine("Supports SEARCH: " & options.SupportsSearch)
                Console.WriteLine("Compliance classes: " & String.Join(", ", options.DavCompliance))
                Console.WriteLine("Allowed methods: " & String.Join(", ", options.AllowedMethods))
            End Using
        End Function
    End Module
End Namespace
