webdav 0.1.6

Enhancements

• Major improvements to the webdav_list_files() function for better compatibility and robustness:
  • Now dynamically detects and uses the correct XML namespace prefix from the server (d, D, or other), preventing XPath errors like Undefined namespace prefix.
  • Uses xml2::as_list() to reliably parse the XML response structure.
  • Ensures content_length is safely parsed and padded with NA where missing (e.g., for directories), preventing errors when creating the resulting tibble.
  • Adds a new field is_folder, correctly identifying whether each resource is a directory.
  • Improved documentation and output consistency with more informative column names (e.g., display_name, full_path, creation_date, etc.).

Acknowledgements

Special thanks to Adrian Jusepeitis (University of Jena, Germany) for reporting two key issues related to XML namespace parsing and missing metadata in webdav_list_files(), and for proposing initial fixes that inspired the improvements in this release.

• [New Feature] Added a new function webdav_download_file() to download files from a WebDAV server to a local directory.
  • This function allows users to specify a file on the server and download it to a specified local path.
  • Verbose mode (verbose = TRUE) provides detailed output of the download process, including the file path on the server and local destination.
• Added examples using demo WebDav server.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
