WebdavClient

A very simple C++ interface for the webdav neon lib

Description

WebdavClient is a C++ class, that makes it very easy to transmit data between a local machine and a webdav server. All the complex neon calls are hidden behind some methods of the WebdavClient class.

Build

• Include WebdavClient.h
• compile with -lneon
• example: g++ main.cc WebdavClient.cc -I . -lneon

Example

All methods of WebdavClient class used in a simple example.

#include <WebdavClient.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(){
  
  const std::string host("my_webdavserver.com");
  const std::string user("my_user");
  const std::string pass("my_password");
  const std::string uri("/my_location/");
  const unsigned port = 80;

  WebdavClient webdavClient(host, port, user, pass);

  // Upload a file to webdav server
  if(webdavClient.put(uri + "my_file_put", "my_file_put")){
    std::cout << "Upload succesfull!" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "Upload error! " << webdavClient.getLastError() << std::endl;
  }

  // Download a file from webdav server
  if(webdavClient.get(uri + "my_file_put", "my_file_get")){
    std::cout << "Download successfull!" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "Download error! " << webdavClient.getLastError() << std::endl;
  }

  // Check if a file on webdav server exists
  if(webdavClient.exist(uri + "my_file_put")){
    std::cout << "File exists! "  << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "File does not exist! " << webdavClient.getLastError() << std::endl;
  }

  // Create directory on webdav server
  if(webdavClient.mkdir(uri + "new_dir")){
    std::cout << "Create folder successfull!" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "Create folder error! " << webdavClient.getLastError() << std::endl;
  }

  // Remove a file on webdav server
  if(webdavClient.rm(uri + "my_file_put")){
    std::cout << "Remove file successfull!" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "Remove file error! " << webdavClient.getLastError() << std::endl;
  }

  // Remove a directory on webdav server
  if(webdavClient.rm(uri + "new_dir/")){
    std::cout << "Remove directory successfull!" << std::endl;
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "Remove directory error! " << webdavClient.getLastError() << std::endl;
  }

  return 0;
}
