A generic and extendable WebDAV server written in Python and based on WSGI.
• WsgiDAV is a stand-alone WebDAV server with SSL support, that can be
installed and run as Python command line script.
• The python-pam library is needed as extra requirement if pam-login
authentication is used on Linux or OSX.
• 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.
