Davius

The obvious DAV server

Davius is a HTTP/WebDAV server that offer the content from the filesystem. You can see it as the big brother of other static web servers like serve-static.

It's mostly focused to serve static content for NodeOS graphic applications, but can be used wherever you want to expose a directory over HTTP and/or allow to modify its content using WebDAV.

Features

• HTTP 1.1 with RANGE header (also for partial PUT uploads)
• WebDAV extensions (COPY, MKCOL and MOVE) rfc4918
• Creation of symlinks rfc4437

Antifeatures (maybe in the future?)

• PATCH rfc5789 (maybe as alternative for partial PUT uploads?)
• PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK and UNLOCK WebDAV methods
• Extended MKCOL rfc5689

Why the name

Thinking about the DAV word it came to my mind the name of a friend of my girlfriend (although she still doesn't know she is, it's a secret, shh... ;-) ), and it was the obvious name :-D

Also, according to Google Translate, davius means road of the penguin in Albanian. That's funny, and I love penguins :-P
