What’s New in IT Hit WebDAV Client API

What’s New in V 1.2

Resumable Upload

With resumable upload feature, you can easily manage large files uploads. You can pause \ resume, cancel and restore broken uploads as well as request amount of bytes successfully saved on the server side. If you are running IT Hit WebDAV Server Engine on the server side you can even overcome 2Gb upload limitation in IIS/ASP.NET and upload files of any size to IIS.
See How to Pause Upload, Cancel Upload, Restore Broken Upload.

Get Child Items Properties with a Single Request

With a new overloaded IFolder.GetChildren method you can request custom properties of all child items with a single request to the server. If you store WebDAV item ID as a custom property now you can easily get item ID with each item.
See the example provided with IFolder.GetChildren method description.

Attach Custom Headers to All Requests

With a new WebDavSession.CustomHeaders property you can now attach custom headers to all requests submitted to the server.

Improved Versioning Interfaces

Now you can obtain checked-in item state, version-control state, locks support and locks list without an extra request to the server. These properties are obtained during initial item opening and now can be accessed via new properties IResource.CheckedOut, IResource.VersionControlled, IHierarchyItem.ActiveLocks and IHierarchyItem.SupportedLock without submitting a request to the server.
