wsgidav 4.0.1

Generic and extendable WebDAV server based on WSGI

WsgiDAV

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.

  Run wsgidav --help for a list of available options.
  

• python-pam is needed if using pam-login on Linux or OSX:

  $ pip install python-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).

• 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.
