HTTP::DAV 0.31

HTTP::DAV is a WebDAV client library for Perl5.
SYNOPSIS
# DAV script that connects to a webserver, safely makes
# a new directory and uploads all html files in
# the /tmp directory.
use HTTP::DAV;
$d = new HTTP::DAV;
$url = "http://host.org:8080/dav/";
$d->credentials( -user=>"pcollins",-pass =>"mypass",
-url =>$url, -realm=>"DAV Realm" );
$d->open( -url=>"$url )
or die("Couldnt open $url: " .$d->message . "n");
# Make a null lock on newdir
$d->lock( -url => "$url/newdir", -timeout => "10m" )
or die "Wont put unless I can lock for 10 minutesn";
# Make a new directory
$d->mkcol( -url => "$url/newdir" )
or die "Couldnt make newdir at $urln";
# Upload multiple files to newdir.
if ( $d->put( -local => "/tmp/*.html", -url => $url ) ) {
print "successfully uploaded multiple files to $urln";
} else {
print "put failed: " . $d->message . "n";
}
$d->unlock( -url => $url );
Main features:
- Full RFC2518 method support. OPTIONS, TRACE, GET, HEAD, DELETE, PUT, COPY, MOVE, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK.
- A fully object-oriented API.
- Recursive GET and PUT for site backups and other scripted transfers.
- Transparent lock handling when performing LOCK/COPY/UNLOCK sequences.
- http and https support (https requires the Crypt::SSLeay library). See INSTALLATION.
- Basic AND Digest authentication support (Digest auth requires the MD5 library). See INSTALLATION.
- dave, a fully-functional ftp-style interface written on top of the HTTP::DAV API and bundled by default with the HTTP::DAV library. (If youve already installed HTTP::DAV, then dave will also have been installed (probably into /usr/local/bin). You can see its man page by typing "perldoc dave" or going to http://www.webdav.org/perldav/dave/.
- It is built on top of the popular LWP (Library for WWW access in Perl). This means that HTTP::DAV inherits proxy support, redirect handling, basic (and digest) authorization and many other HTTP operations. See LWP for more information.
- Popular server support. HTTP::DAV has been tested against the following servers: mod_dav, IIS5, Xythos webfile server and mydocsonline. The library is growing an impressive interoperability suite which also serves as useful "sample scripts". See "make test" and t/*.
