It is being developed by IT-ST at CERN, and while the project\u0027s purpose is its use on the [CERN grid](http://wlcg.web.cern.ch/), the functionality offered is generic.\n\n## Documentation\n\nVisit [https://davix.web.cern.ch](https://davix.web.cern.ch) to view the latest documentation.\n\n\n## HTTP File Management\nHTTP is gaining popularity for file management tasks, beyond its traditional use for serving web pages. It is versatile enough to be fit for this purpose; `PUT`, `MOVE` and `DELETE` requests can be used for basic file manipulation, for example. (uploading, moving, and deleting a file, respectively)\n\nSome common file-management operations are not possible to do with plain HTTP, however, which is why the [WebDAV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV) extensions were developed, which davix supports.\n\nDavix also supports a plethora of authentication methods:\n* x509 user certificate\n* VOMS proxy\n* RFC proxy with VOMS extensions support\n* username / password\n* AWS S3 compatible services\n* Microsoft Azure compatible services\n\n## Usage\nDavix provides a shared library as well as a few command line tools. The library offers two sets of APIs, a file-oriented and a POSIX-like interface.\n\nHere are some example invocations of the command-line tools.\n\n```\n# upload a file using a VOMS proxy\ndavix-put myfile https://someserver/dir/myfile -E /tmp/x509up_u1000\n# download a file from an Amazon S3 bucket\ndavix-get https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/somefile --s3accesskey [..] --s3secretkey [..]\n# do an ls on a WebDAV-enabled server\ndavix-ls https://someserver/dir\n```\n\n## Compiling\n1. Install the necessary dependencies:\n   * cmake\n   * libxml2-devel\n   * openssl-devel\n\n2. Compile:\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/cern-fts/davix.gi",
