Project description

The Portable WebDAV Library is a strongly typed, async WebDAV client library which is fully RFC 4918/RFC 4331 compliant. It is implemented as .NETStandard 1.1 library in oder to be used on any platform supporting .NETStandard 1.1.

Main project aims

  • Full compliance to RFC 4918 (HTTP Extensions for Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)) and RFC 4331 (Quota and Size Properties for Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV) Collections)
  • Portability: The library can be used in any project targeting .NETStandard 1.1
  • Level of abstraction: There is a low level of abstraction (class WebDavClient) which supports all WebDAV operations directly. This is recommended for users who are familiar with the RFC 4918 specification. A higher level of abstraction is also provided (class WebDavSession) that hides most of the WebDAV specific operations and provides an easy access to WebDAV Servers
  • Fast and fluid: All operations which might last longer are implemented as asynchronous methods
  • WebDAV object model: Object model that represents all WebDAV artifacts used in WebDAV communication (as XML request/response content). No need to build own request XML content strings or parsing the contents of a response of a WebDAV server

So far the project is tested against IIS and ownCloud/Nextcloud (sabre/dav) (note that WebDAV locking is only working with ownCloud 8 or earlier releases as with ownCloud 9 WebDAV locking is not supported anymore).

Obtaining the library

  • There is a NuGet package available: Just search for 'PortableWebDavLibrary' in the 'Manage NuGet Packages...' window in Visual Studio. You can also find the package here.
  • If you prefer the manual installation method, you can find the current release as ZIP file on the GitHub release page.

Documentation

There is a full documentation of the library with some example code available.

For offline use, you can download the help file (CHM) here: Portable WebDAV Library offline documentation

Beta versions

When there will be some considerable/breaking changes in a future version of the library, a preview version is released on MyGet before releasing the final version on NuGet. This way, projects using the Portable WebDAV Library can test beta versions before a new version is released officially.
