WebDav client library

NOTE: NO LONGER ACTIVELY MAINTAINED¶ ↑

Net::Dav library, in the style of Net::HTTP <img src=“https://travis-ci.org/devrandom/net_dav.svg?branch=master” alt=“Build Status” />

Install¶ ↑

Installing the gem:

gem install net_dav

and if you want acceleration for large files (from 4MB/s to 20MB/s in my setup):

gem install curb

If you’re having install issues with nokogiri on Mac OS X read wiki.github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/what-to-do-if-libxml2-is-being-a-jerk

Usage¶ ↑

require 'net/dav'

Net::DAV.start("https://localhost.localdomain/xyz/") do |dav|
  dav.find('.', :recursive => true) do |item|
    item.content = item.content.gsub(/silly/i, 'funny')
  end
end

(Note that if you want to use “.” to refer to the origin URL, it should end with a slash, otherwise it is assumed that the last component is a file and “.” will refer to the parent.)

Documentation¶ ↑

RDoc: rdoc.info/projects/devrandom/net_dav Wiki: wiki.github.com/devrandom/net_dav

Performance¶ ↑

This should be threadsafe if you use a different Net::DAV object for each thread. Check out script/multi-test for a multi-threaded application.

Installing the curb gem will gain speedup with large files, but currently is much slower doing many small get operations. If your usecase is the latter and you have curb installed, you can disable its use by passing the

:curl => false

option to Net::DAV::start or Net::DAV::new .

Thanks go to Thomas ( github.com/thomasfl/ ) and others for their help.

Thomas is writing the easy to use github.com/thomasfl/open-uri-and-write based on net_dav.

net_dav's Issues

net_dav can put textfile only?

I want to put imagefile.
But I see raised error
ArgumentError: Content-Length not given and Transfer-Encoding is not `chunked'

4 specs are failing

4 of the specs are failing. I have changes that seem to fix them on my fork, and would be happy to submit a pull request once my pending pull request has been handled.

how do I require this library?

After installation with gem install net_dav
it is impossible to require this into my project

Files are returned as directories for Depth: infinity requests

My WebDAV server (ownCloud) supports Depth: infinity PROPFIND requests which is much faster than specifying dav.find(..., recursive: true). However, for those requests items are returned as directories instead of files (i.e. every item.type == :directory).

result = []

Net::DAV.start(URL) do |dav|
  dav.credentials('user', 'secret')
  dav.headers('Depth' => 'infinity')

  dav.find(root) do |item|
    next unless item.type == :file

    result << item
  end
end

result

# => result is always empty

test issue

test

item.props.contentlength returns contenttype

The XPath request is invalid and returns contenttype for an item instead of the expected contentlength.

error retrieving file

if the uri to file is https://example.com/file.rb, the retrieval is successful
if the uri to file is https://example.com/foo/file.rb, the retrieval fails.
error log for file.content where file is of type Item:

Add a prune() method to escape a tree from within a find() block

When used inside a 'find' block, a 'prune' method should skip the current file or directory, restart the loop with the next entry. Thus making the find method behave more like the find method in the find.rb standard library:
http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/find/rdoc/index.html

Undefined local variable or method `response'

Hello, using the sample code from the wiki:

require 'rubygems'
require 'net/dav'

dav = Net::DAV.new(http://192.168.7.28:8085", :curl => false)
dav.verify_server = false
dav.credentials(ENV['DAVUSER'],ENV['DAVPASS'])

dav.find('.',:recursive=>true,:suppress_errors=>true,:filename=>/\.html|\.xml$/) do | item |
  puts "Checking: " + item.url.to_s
  if( item.content =~ /www.wrong.com/ )
    item.content = item.content.gsub("www.wrong.com", "www.right.com")
    puts "Updated: " + item.url.to_s
  end
end

I get this exception:

lib/net/dav.rb:162:in `handle_request': undefined local variable or method `response' for #<Net::DAV::NetHttpHandler:0x007fc07811b788> (NameError)

Indeed response is used here without being defined:

method for locking, unlocking resources.

Is there any method for locking, unlocking resources. I couldn't find it in dav.rb file

"require 'time'" is… required

Otherwise 'Net::DAV::Item#properties. lastmodificationdate fails.

(undefined method `parse' for Time:Class)

`rake` fails with rspec >= 2.0

I'm using rspec 2.6.0. Running rake fails with the following message:

no such file to load -- spec/rake/spectask

Apparently, this file was deleted in rspec 2.0.

PROPDEL support

The propdel verb deletes properties. I can implement it myself the next couple of weeks.

Publish new release on rubygems

There have been many useful fixes since 0.5.0 published on Rubygems on March 12, 2010.
Could you bump version number and publish it?
Thanks!
