Changing the properties of a file or directory (PROPPATCH)

Use the PROPPATCH method to change the properties of a file or directory on Yandex Disk. Applications can create their own custom properties for files and directories, for storing metainformation. Values of created properties can be requested using the PROPFIND method (see Properties of a file or directory).

The XML elements that are used in requests and responses are documented in the protocol specification.

For the /a/ directory, the myprop property is created with the myvalue value.
