Introduction

The webdav-client library contains client-side routines for distributed authoring (RFC 2518).

Requires

http
http-auth
syntax-case
matchable
sxml-transforms
sxml-tools
utf8

Library conventions

Every WebDAV client procedure in this library takes a PATH argument, which can be a string that contains the resource URL, or a list of the form (AUTH PATH), where AUTH is a procedure of the form LAMBDA TYPE * REALM -> (USER PASS) that takes in HTTP authentication type and realm, and returns user name and password for the realm, and PATH is again the resource URL.

Library procedures

`webdav:options:: PATH [ * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a OPTIONS request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:get:: PATH [ * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a GET request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:put:: PATH * CONTENT [ * LOCKTOKEN * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a PUT request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:delete:: PATH [ * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a DELETE request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:copy:: FROM-PATH * TO-PATH [ * OVERWRITE? * LOCKTOKEN * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a COPY request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body. Argument TO-PATH must be a string.

`webdav:move:: FROM-PATH * TO-PATH [ * OVERWRITE? * LOCKTOKEN * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a MOVE request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body. Argument TO-PATH must be a string.

`webdav:propfind:: PATH [ * PROPS * NAMESPACES * DEPTH * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a PROPFIND request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:report:: PATH [ * CONTENT * DEPTH * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a REPORT request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:proppatch:: PATH [ * SETPROPS * DELPROPS * NAMESPACES * LOCKTOKEN * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a PROPPATCH request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:lock:: PATH * OWNER [ SCOPE * DEPTH * TIMEOUT * LOCKTOKEN * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes a LOCK request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

`webdav:lock:: PATH [ * LOCKTOKEN * HANDLER] -> ...`

Executes an UNLOCK request and invokes procedure HANDLER with the server response. The default handler returns an alist with the HTTP response status, headers, and body.

Example

(use webdav-client)

;; retrieve all properties of given resource
(webdav:propfind
 (list (lambda (type realm) (list "user" "pass")) ;; authentication information
 "http://localhost/file" ;; resource URL
))

;; PROPPATCH example from RFC 2518
(webdav:proppatch
 (list (lambda (type realm) (list "user" "pass")) 
 "http://localhost/file"
 `((Z "http://www.w3.com/standards/z39.50/")) ;; property namespaces
 `((Z:authors (Z:Author "Jim Whitehead")
              (Z:Author "Roy Fielding"))) ;; properties to set
 `((Z:Copyright-Owner)) ;; properties to delete
))
