Hi. The fonction publish doesn't exist for the class client. Is it just not implemented (didn't see an implementation in the code) or it is an issue ?

Hi there,
the current package seem to require lxml, yet this module only uses the etree interface, which has a builtin C and Python implementation (xml.etree.cElementTree and xml.etree.ElementTree). As such, you could make lxml an optional dependency, which would make the webdav module way easier to setup on machines without compilers as well as Python implementations other than CPython.

The fix is straightforward: in webdav/client.py, replace

import lxml.etree as etree

with

try:
    from lxml import etree
except ImportError:
    try:
        from xml.etree import cElementTree as etree
    except ImportError:
        from xml.etree import ElementTree as etree

this way, the lxml implementation is used if available; otherwise, the C implementation is used; if it's not available, the plain Python implementation is used. Then, you could remove lxml from the hard dependencies !

Possible it must be just urn not urn.path()

Hi,
I tried your client for owncloud
upload_sync worked smoothly but download_sync ...
I gave the output. What could cause this

c.download_sync(remote_path="http://localhost/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/sync/", local_path="/home/kerim/sync")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/kerim/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/webdav/client.py", line 417, in download_sync
self.download(local_path=local_path, remote_path=remote_path)
File "/home/kerim/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/webdav/client.py", line 358, in download
if self.is_dir(urn.path()):
File "/home/kerim/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/webdav/client.py", line 845, in is_dir
raise RemoteResourceNotFound(remote_path)
webdav.exceptions.RemoteResourceNotFound: Remote resource: /http:/localhost/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/sync/ not found

I need to be able to specify a local CA file when connecting to a HTTPS webdav server because we use a local Certification Authority. I don't know how to do that with this webdav library. Is it ever possible?.

I don't want to disable TLS verification but would be nice to have the choice too.

Thanks.

I connect to box.com and list my resourses and I got list:
['dav/', 'dir1/', 'Tulips.jpg']

When I list 'dir1' client.list("dir1/") I got an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./webdav_client_2.py", line 17, in <module>
    client.mkdir("dir1/")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/webdav/client.py", line 307, in mkdir
    raise RemoteParentNotFound(directory_urn.path())
webdav.exceptions.RemoteParentNotFound: Remote parent for: /dir1/ not found

How to list directories from DAV?

this line should be

return Resource(self, urn)

Would be great for the non russian rest of the world 😄

Would you like to add parameter in options to disable/enable pycurl transfer information, like that:

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 238k 0 0 100 238k 0 99245 0:00:02 0:00:02 --:--:-- 99251

It is visible when download/upload function is used.

Hello. Thanks for library, found it useful.

I've tried to use check method to clarify, exists file on my remote disk or not and got MethodNotSupported. After some investigation, I realized, that it happens in next cases:

# Let's all dirs and files exists
wc.check('/root/test_folder/test.txt')  # True
# Let's root and test_folder exists
wc.check('/root/test_folder/test.txt')  # False
# Only root folder exists
wc.check('/root/test_folder/test.txt')  # raise etree.XMLSyntaxError, because
# in that case yandex.disk respond with 404 HTTP status and `parse` method failed

Is it expected behavior?

Hi,

I played a bit with your webdavclient library and it seems great. But I have two issues. Spaces and UTF-8 characters. Here is a trace with an error:

>>> import webdav.client as wc
>>> options = {"webdav_hostname":"https://dav.box.com", "webdav_login":"login", "webdav_password":"password"}
>>> client = wc.Client(options)
>>> client.list()
['dav/', 'Uploads must go into the dav directory.txt']
>>> client.list("dav/")
['dav/', 'cv-en.pdf', 'winn\xc3\xa9.bmp']
>>> client.info("dav/cv-en.pdf")

>>> client.info("dav/winn\xc3\xa9.bmp")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    raise RemoteResourceNotFound(path)
webdav.exceptions.RemoteResourceNotFound: Remote resource: /dav/winné.bmp not found

I’m not able to get informations or to download the file winné.bmp with your library. I have exactly the same issue if there is a space in the file name. I tried to quote the filename (with the function in urllib), but it still does not work.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it an issue with the library?

The following code is working

  client.check(remote_path) #returns true (file is present)
  client.list() #lists all files correctly

but the following statements won't work

    print(client.info("0000249385.zip").size)
    print(client.info(remote_path))

The whole code:

def downloadFile(id):
    remote_path = id + ".zip"
    local_path = "C:/User/i/Desktop/" + id + ".zip"
    
    import webdav.client as wc

    options = {
     'webdav_hostname': "https://server.com:8081/Testfolder/",
     'webdav_login':    "user",
     'webdav_password': 'password'
    }
    client = wc.Client(options)
    client.webdav.is_valid()
    client.default_options['SSL_VERIFYPEER'] = False 
    client.default_options['SSL_VERIFYHOST'] = False
    #this statement list all files correctly
    print(client.list())
    #returns true (as expected)
    print(client.check(remote_path))

The error from the Python IDLE console

Hi,

I suggest to add support for the etag field.
The change would be just a few lines in client.py:

find_attributes = {
    'created': ".//{DAV:}creationdate",
    'name': ".//{DAV:}displayname",
    'size': ".//{DAV:}getcontentlength",
    'modified': ".//{DAV:}getlastmodified",
    'etag': ".//{DAV:}getetag"  # new
}

I'd further add the following to remove the quotes around the etag (without this, it would be something link '"etag"'. I suggest to use the try / except - pattern as most servers are supporting the etag-field, and therefore this is approach is usually faster.

for (name, value) in find_attributes.items():
    info[name] = resp.findtext(value)

# new
try:
    info['etag'] = info['etag'][1:-1]  # remove quotes from etag
except KeyError:
    pass

Cheers
Tobias

copy and move functions work for box.com but features table shows that they are unavailable for that service.
Would you like to update README.md.

Hi, just wondering if this intended behaviour.

when I use client.list('folder'), it not only retrieves the contents (files, subfolders) of this folder but also the containing folder itself as

folder/

Is this supposed to be like that? IMHO this is misleading because it looks like another subfolder of "folder" (folder/folder is how I would interpret this)

Thanks a lot for a very great and useful piece of software by the way!!! :-)
all the best
Jojo

urn built from remote_path is checked in upload_directory method of Client.

Check is if urn.is_dir(): but should be if not urn.is_dir():"

smtplib raise exception
self = _SSLContext.new(cls, protocol)
ssl.SSLError: [SSL: UNABLE_TO_LOAD_SSL2_MD5_ROUTINES] unknown error (_ssl.c:2683)

I'm unable to understand in my code what was the reason of "missing resouce". For example if it was a 401 Unauthorized error - i will get an exception that webdav.exceptions.RemoteResourceNotFound: Remote resource: /wtf/ not found w/o any reason

Getting this error: ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time version (7.49.1) is older than compile-time version (7.51.0)
