DavAddConnection function (davclnt.h)

  • Article

Creates a secure connection to a WebDAV server or to a remote file or directory on a WebDAV server.

Syntax

DWORD DavAddConnection(
  [in, out]      HANDLE  *ConnectionHandle,
  [in]           LPCWSTR RemoteName,
  [in, optional] LPCWSTR UserName,
  [in, optional] LPCWSTR Password,
  [in]           PBYTE   ClientCert,
  [in]           DWORD   CertSize
);

Parameters

[in, out] ConnectionHandle

A pointer to a variable that receives the connection handle.

[in] RemoteName

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the path to the remote file or directory. This string must begin with the "https://" prefix.

[in, optional] UserName

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the user name to be used for the connection. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

[in, optional] Password

A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the password to be used for the connection. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

[in] ClientCert

A pointer to a buffer that contains the client certificate to be used for the connection. The certificate must be in a serialized form.

[in] CertSize

Size, in bytes, of the client certificate.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value is a system error code.

Remarks

To close the connection, use the DavDeleteConnection function.

Use this function when you are connecting to a WebDAV server using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and therefore must specify a certificate. To connect to a WebDAV server without specifying a certificate, use a Windows networking function such as WNetAddConnection2 or WNetAddConnection3.
