Why use this WebDAV Nginx server?

This server is a single Nginx module attempting to be a fully-fledged WebDAV server in C. It's a fork of existing projects aiming to fix issues they had and merge the codebases. Specifically the goals of this project are:

[x] extremely easy setup configuration

[x] don't ruin the filesystem, the server filesystem looks like just as it does as a WebDAV mount, copy your files in or out and you're good to go

[x] APIs lenient enough to work with all clients in contrast to the native Nginx webdav module

[ ] WebDAV PROPPATCH method

[ ] WebDAV SEARCH method through xapian(?)

[ ] etag checksums for more robust client syncing

[ ] optional thumbnailing though cron jobs

[ ] optional filesystem indexing for WebDAV SEARCH with cron jobs that uses noninvasive and compatible .index files

[ ] optional locking and unlocking in redis

[x] functional testing suite

Was this written from zero?

The native nginx dav_module has been integrated with a few changes for client compatibility. This solves some very difficult problems with client compatibility:

- trailing slash issues for DELETE requests uris

- trailing slash issues for MOVE and COPY requests uris and destination headers

- trailing slash issues for MKCOL request uris

The community nginx_dav_ext_module is integrated as well for proper full WebDAV support.

Using

There are a few reasonable ways of setting it up.

Standalone mode with authentication TODO webdav apis with an htpasswd file through nginx basic authentication
Managed mode with subrequest full cloud functionality TODO webdav apis with database managed through django
