WebDAV headers and body - OpenMarshal/npm-WebDAV-Server GitHub Wiki

Body

Here are, for each WebDAV method, the type of content of the request and the response.

* Whatever (binary, text, ...)

The type of the content in the response can be switcher from the default XML type to the JSON thanks to the HTTP Accept header.

The JSON is formatted by xml-js. The request body supports compact and non-compact JSON. The response body is compact JSON.

Here are the headers used in the default implementation of the server :

Header	Method	Description	Example
Accept	all	Define a list of accepted content types.	`Accept: application/json, application/xml`
Source	`GET` `HEAD` `POST` `PUT` `PROPFIND`	Define if the source of the resource must be targeted (value = T \| F).	`Source: T`
Translate	`GET` `HEAD` `POST` `PUT` `PROPFIND`	It is the opposite of the `Source` header.
Destination	`MOVE` `COPY`	Define the destination of the operation.	`Destination: http://webdavserver.com/destFolder/destFile`
Lock-Token	`LOCK response` `UNLOCK`	Define the UUID of the new lock or of the lock to remove.	`Lock-Token: <urn:uuid:a515cfa4-5da4-22e1-f5bf-00a0451e6bf7>`
If	all `LOCK refresh*`	Define a condition (for a full description, refer to the RFC4918 - Header If).	`If: (<urn:uuid:a515cfa4-5da4-22e1-f5bf-00a0451e6bf7>)`
Overwrite	`MOVE` `COPY`	Define if the operation can overwrite the destination resource if it already exists (value = T \| F).	`Overwrite: T`
Depth	`PROPFIND`	Define the depth of the operation (Value = 0 \| 1 \| Infinity).	`Depth: 0`
Host	all*	Define the host used for the request, allowing the server to produce absolute URL.	`Host: webdavserver.com:1900`
Content-Length	all*	Define the content length. If there is no content, the value must be 0.	`Content-Length: 0`
Authorization	all	Authenticate the user.	`Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==`
