WsgiDAV

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.

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
```
The htpasswd and htdigest domain controllers require the optional passlib dependency. If your password file uses bcrypt hashes, install the optional bcrypt backend, e.g.:
```
$ ython -m pip install "wsgidav[htpasswd]"
$ python -m pip install "wsgidav[htpasswd,bcrypt]"
```
Windows users may prefer the MSI Installer (see Assets section), or use winget:
```
> winget install wsgidav
```

Use with Docker:
An experimental Docker image that exposes a local directory using WebDAV is available here:

$ docker pull mar10/wsgidav
$ docker run --rm -it -p <PORT>:8080 -v <ROOT_FOLDER>:/var/wsgidav-root mar10/wsgidav

for example::

$ docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -v /tmp:/var/wsgidav-root mar10/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.
