Properties of a file or directory

The section Changing the properties of a file or directory (PROPPATCH) describes how properties are created.

If the request body does not indicate specific properties, Yandex Disk sends the following in the response:

• Date and time the object was modified.
• Whether the object is a directory.
• For files, the size and type of contents.

Request for the value of the myprop property for the /a/ directory:

PROPFIND /a/ HTTP/1.1
Host: webdav.yandex.ru
Accept: */*
Depth: 1
Authorization: OAuth 0c4181a7c2cf4521964a72ff57a34a07
Content-Length: 115
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<propfind xmlns="DAV:">
  <prop>
    <myprop xmlns="mynamespace"/>
  </prop>
</propfind>

If the directory exists and it has this property, the following response is returned:

      <d:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</d:status>
      <d:prop>
