Webdav Custom Properties

[Ingram Leedy]

Does IIS/Webdav support "custom properties" using PROPATCH/PROFIND?

[Wei-Dong Xu [MSFT]]

Hi Ingram,

Thank you for posting in MSDN managed newsgroup!

From my understanding to this issue, you will need to add custom properties into the propfind/PROPATCH method of webdav.

If so, so far as I know, IIS will not provide this service for you alone. You will need to install Exchange server to obtain this feature. There are
two articles from Exchange 2003 which will provide some assistance for you. Please go to:
Setting and Retrieving Custom Properties
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_setting_and_retrieving_custom_properties.asp?frame=true

Setting Multivalued Properties (WebDAV)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_setting_mutivalue_properties_webdav.asp

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Ahh. Ok, yea, we have an exchange store running that we can test with. It
seems that there are multiple WebDav produces with Microsoft:

IIS
FrontPage
WSS and various versions of Sharepoint and Sharepoint Portal.
Exchange

What I am trying to do is set a custom property like MD5-checksum on a file
without having to download the entire file.

Wei-Dong,

Thanks for the insight -- It would be nice to use IIS, is there anyway to
extend IIS programatically? Or do you know of any IIS webdav ISAPI or
ASP.NET methods of building custom properties or features?

Hi Ingram,

Thank you for replying!

From IIS without Exchange server, you will need to write one ISAPI filter
to handle the webdav requests. So far as I know, you may need to write one
for your scenario.

Using ASP.net, based on my experience, you will also need to take advantage
of Exchange to use the custom properties.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Ingram,

Furthermore, for the development of ISAPI filter, you can find the
reference and sample from the link:
