WsgiDAV

WsgiDAV 4.3.3.0, released by Martin Wendt, is a generic and extendable WebDAV server built on the WSGI standard, placing it in the Internet/servers category of developer tools. Designed to deliver RFC-compliant WebDAV access over HTTP, the software exposes local file-systems or custom repositories as network shares that Windows, macOS, and Linux clients can mount natively, enabling remote editing, versioning, and collaborative authoring without additional client installation. System administrators embed the lightweight WSGI application inside traditional Apache, Nginx, or standalone Python servers such as Gunicorn, uWSGI, or the bundled Cheroot server, choosing authentication backends ranging from htpasswd files to LDAP and PAM; granular share-level permissions, SSL/TLS termination, and per-folder DAV property plugins can be configured through an INI-style file or Python code. Typical use cases include providing secure off-site file access for distributed teams, synchronizing documentation between build servers and designer workstations, or adding WebDAV endpoints to CI pipelines so test artifacts are browsable via ordinary file managers. Because the code base is framework-agnostic and published under the MIT licence, developers subclass the DAV provider classes to surface SQL databases, cloud object stores, or encrypted vaults as if they were standard directories. Eight successive versions—counting 4.3.3.0 as the latest stable—have refined locking semantics, added Microsoft Office compatibility headers, and introduced streaming upload support for multi-gigabyte files while retaining backward compatibility with Python 3.7 onward. The package is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always serve the newest release, and support batch installation of multiple applications.
