you can use the HttpClient request() method and as a first argument place a string 'PROPFIND'

 this.http.request('PROPFIND', this.WEBDAV_BASE + '/' + directoryName , { headers: headers , responseType: 'text'}).pipe(
      map(res => {
        // your code goes here, play around with 'res'
      })
      catchError(error => error);
  )
