DAVKit is a Cocoa framework for communicating with WebDAV servers. It supports downloading, uploading, copying, moving, and deleting files and folders, all asynchronously. By subclassing DAVRequest, you can extend the existing support for WebDAV requests to suit your own needs. Unit tests are also included for all supported requests. If DAVKit is missing something or you would like to submit a patch, please file an issue in the issue tracker.

To get started, include the DAVKit framework in your Mac OS X application target per usual. To use DAVKit on iPhone, copy the contents of the Sources directory into your own project.

WebDAV requests are sent using the DAVSession class. Initialize DAVSession with a set of credentials and a root URL:

DAVCredentials *credentials = [DAVCredentials credentialsWithUsername:@"USER"
															 password:@"PASS"];

NSString *root = @"http://idisk.me.com/steve"; // don't include the trailing / (slash)

DAVSession *session = [[DAVSession alloc] initWithRootURL:[NSURL URLWithString:root]
											  credentials:credentials];

DAVSession acts like a queue, limiting the number of requests it can process at any point in time. The default is 2. To enqueue a new WebDAV request, instantiate one of the subclasses of DAVRequest and pass it to DAVSession as shown below:

[session enqueueRequest:subclassOfDAVRequest];

To receive callbacks when the state of the request changes, register yourself as the delegate of an instance of DAVRequest before enqueueing it.

Before running the Tests target, fill in your WebDAV test server's information into the HOST, USERNAME, and PASSWORD #defines in DAVTest.h. The tests currently require network connectivity.
