WebDAV library including a standalone server for python

Project description

WebDAV library for python.

Consists of a server that is ready to run Serve and the DAV package that provides WebDAV server(!) functionality.

Currently supports

  • WebDAV level 1

  • Level 2 (LOCK, UNLOCK)

  • Experimental iterator support

It plays nice with

  • Mac OS X Finder

  • Windows Explorer

  • iCal

  • cadaver

  • Nautilus

This package does not provide client functionality.

Installation

After installation of this package you will have a new script in you $PYTHON/bin directory called davserver. This serves as the main entry point to the server.

Examples

Example (using easy_install):

easy_install PyWebDAV
davserver -D /tmp -n

Example (unpacking file locally):

tar xvzf PyWebDAV-$VERSION.tar.gz
cd pywebdav
python setup.py develop
davserver -D /tmp -n

Status check not working when server is running [Joerg Friedrich]

Fixed wrong time formatting for Last-Modified and creationdate (must follow RFC 822 and 3339) [Cedric Krier]

0.9.2 (May 11 2009)

Fixed COPY, MOVE, DELETE to support locked resources [Simon Pamies]

Fixed PROPFIND to return 404 for non existing objects and also reduce property bloat [Simon Pamies]

Fix for time formatting bug. Thanks to Ian Kallen [Simon Pamies]

Small fixes for WebDavServer (status not handled correctly) and propfind (children are returned from a PROPFIND with “Depth: 0”) [Kjetil Irbekk]

0.8 (Jul 15th 2008)

First try of an implementation of the LOCK and UNLOCK features. Still very incomplete (read: very incomplete) and not working in this version. [Simon Pamies]

Some code cleanups to prepare restructuring [Simon Pamies]

Port to minidom because PyXML isn’t longer maintained [Martin v. Loewis]

utils.py: Makes use of DOMImplementation class to create a new xml document Uses dom namespace features to create elements within DAV: namespace [Stephane Bonhomme]

davcmd.py: Missing an indent in loop on remove and copy operations on trees, the effect was that only the last object was removed/copied : always leads to a failure when copying collections. [Stephane Bonhomme]

propfind.py: missing a return at the end of the createResponse method (case of a propfind without xml body, should act as a allprops). [Stephane Bonhomme]

Added MySQL auth support brought by Vince Spicer Added INI file support also introduced by Vince Some minor bugfixes and integration changes. Added instance counter to make multiple instances possible Extended –help text a bit [Simon Pamies]

0.6

some more things I can’t remember [Simon Pamies]

Changes since 0.5.1

Updated to work with latest 4Suite

Changes since 0.5

added constants.py data.py must now return COLLECTION or OBJECT when getting asked for resourcetype. propfind.py will automatically generate the right xml element. <href> now only contains the path changed HTTP/1.0 header to HTTP/1.1 which makes it work with WebFolders added DO_AUTH constant to AuthServer.py to control whether authentication should be done or not. added chunked responses in davserver.py One step in order to get a server with keep-alive one day. we now use 4DOM instead if PyDOM the URI in a href is quoted complete rewrite of the PROPFIND stuff: error responses are now generated when a property if not found or not accessible namespace handling is now better. We forget any prefix and create them ourselves later in the response. added superclass iface.py in DAV/ in order to make implementing interface classes easier. See data.py for how to use it. Also note that the way data.py handles things might have changed from the previous release (if you don’t like it wait for 1.0!) added functions to iface.py which format creationdate and lastmodified implemented HEAD

lots of bugfixes

Changes since 0.3

removed hard coded base uri from davserver.py and replaced by a reference to the dataclass. Added this to iface.py where you have to define it in your subclass. added davcmd.py which contains utility functions for copy and move reimplemented DELETE and removed dependencies to pydom. move actual delete method to davcmd. implemented COPY implemented MOVE fixed bugs in errors.py, needs revisiting anyway.. URIs are now unquoted in davserver.py before being used paths in data.py are quoted in system calls in order to support blanks in pathnames (e.g. mkdir ‘%s’ ) switched to exceptions when catching errors from the interface class added exists() method to data.py added more uri utility functions to utils.py millenium bugfixes ;-)
