RE: Get file attachment via WebDAV?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Ok, I've answered part of my own questions. I must be blind since I didn't
see that the DAV namespace property "href" has the entire URL of the
attachment returned via the X-MS-ENUMATTS request. Therefore, I've
successfully used a GET method to obtain the attachment and save it to my
local computer.

I still do have these other minor questions:

1). I noticed that the "d:x37050003" property seems to indicate what type of
attachment this is. I just want valid attached files (nothing embedded).
Are these values documented anywhere?

2). The only way I can get to the "d:x37050003" property is using the
getElementsByTagName method of the DOM document using a nodelist. If I try
to go directly to this node in the XML and get the text like this:

reqDoc.SelectSingleNode("//multistatus/response/propstat/prop/x37050003").text

It fails. If I try to use "//a:multistatus/a:repsonse...." etc... it also
fails. How can I select a single node in XML when namespaces are used.

Thank you very much.
