| In this example, we will use the PROPFIND WebDAV method to retrieve the properties of the promotoc4.doc MS Word document, located in the /DOCUMENTS/MARKETING/ APRIL / folder. We set these properties (owner, author, company, and title) in the previous example by using the PROPPATCH method. In this example, the source identified by strURL will be the same as the source defined in the PROPPATCH sample as strURL = "http://" + strServer + "/" + strWorkspace + "/DOCUMENTS/MARKETING/APRIL/  promotoc4.doc" The XML string will change as follows : strXMLRequest = "" + _ "<?xml version='1.0'?>" + _ "<D:propfind xmlns:D='DAV:' xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office'>" + _ "<D:prop>" + _ "<D:owner/>" + _ "<o:Author/>" + _ "<o:company/>" + _ "<o:title/>" + _ "</D:prop>" + _ "</D:propfind>" The method in the request header needs to be changed to PROPFIND: DAVRequest.open "PROPFIND", strURL, False, strUser, strPassword Listing 16.7 The PROPFIND Request PROPFIND /spsbook/documents/marketing/april/promotco4.doc HTTP/1.1 Host: dianatr Content-Type: text/xml Content-Length: XXX <?xml version='1.0'?> <D:propfind xmlns:D='DAV:' xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office'> <D:prop> <D:owner/> <o:Author/> <o:company/> <o:title/> </D:prop> </D:propfind> The XML response is shown in Listing 16.8.
