Generic and extendable WebDAV server based on WSGI
Project description
WsgiDAV
Open in Visual Studio Code (experimental)
A generic and extendable WebDAV server written in Python and based on WSGI.
Main features:
-
WsgiDAV is a stand-alone WebDAV server with SSL support, that can be installed and run as Python command line script on Linux, OSX, and Windows:
$ pip install wsgidav cheroot $ wsgidav --host=0.0.0.0 --port=80 --root=/tmp --auth=anonymous Running without configuration file. 10:54:16.597 - INFO : WsgiDAV/4.0.0-a1 Python/3.9.1 macOS-12.0.1-x86_64-i386-64bit 10:54:16.598 - INFO : Registered DAV providers by route: 10:54:16.598 - INFO : - '/:dir_browser': FilesystemProvider for path '/Users/martin/prj/git/wsgidav/wsgidav/dir_browser/htdocs' (Read-Only) (anonymous) 10:54:16.599 - INFO : - '/': FilesystemProvider for path '/tmp' (Read-Write) (anonymous) 10:54:16.599 - WARNING : Basic authentication is enabled: It is highly recommended to enable SSL. 10:54:16.599 - WARNING : Share '/' will allow anonymous write access. 10:54:16.813 - INFO : Running WsgiDAV/4.0.0-a1 Cheroot/8.5.2 Python 3.9.1 10:54:16.813 - INFO : Serving on http://0.0.0.0:80 ...
Run
wsgidav --help
for a list of available options. -
The python-pam library is needed as extra requirement if pam-login authentication is used on Linux or OSX:
$ pip install wsgidav[pam] $ wsgidav --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 --root=/tmp --auth=pam-login
-
Note: Windows users may prefer the MSI Installer (see Assets section), or use winget:
> winget install wsgidav
-
WebDAV is a superset of HTTP, so WsgiDAV is also a performant, multi-threaded web server with SSL support.
-
WsgiDAV is also a Python library that implements the WSGI protocol and can be run behind any WSGI compliant web server.
-
WsgiDAV is implemented as a configurable stack of WSGI middleware applications.
Its open architecture allows to extend the functionality and integrate WebDAV services into your project.
Typical use cases are:- Expose data structures as virtual, editable file systems.
- Allow online editing of MS Office documents.
