Took a quick look. Looking good so far! Please let us know when this is ready for review. |

@jorgeorpinel what is the status of this? |
| - `cert_path` - path to certificate used for WebDAV server authentication. | ||
|
|
||
| ```dvc | ||
| $ dvc remote modify myremote cert_path /path/to/cert | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - `key_path` - path to private key to use to access a remote. | ||
|
|
||
| ```dvc | ||
| $ dvc remote modify myremote key_path /path/to/key | ||
| ``` |

Are these alternatives to token and to user/password auth?

No, according to the WebDAV client documentation (and that is also what I can infer from the implementation), these are additional parameters. But they are optional parameters, probably we should give this information.

No need to say they're optional. Most parameters except what's shown in the remote add reference are assumed to be optional. But ideally we should briefly explain what these are for, or link to some WebDAV documentation.

I have added some explanation, is it enough? I don't know what I could link to, these are not really WebDAV specific options - they are just passed to the underlying requests API.
WebDAV seems to be the only remote having such options, even though HTTP is also based on requests it does not expose these option?

Yep, that was more than enough. Thanks @iksnagreb!

Good question. TBH Idk but maybe @efiop, who I always pick on for these questions 😬, does.

Does it need quotes like other string params? I.e.:
| $ dvc remote modify --local myremote token mytoken | |
| $ dvc remote modify --local myremote token "<mytoken>" |

I don't know, thought it to be more like a variant of user, which has no quotes? But adding quotes should probably be fine. Are there guidelines what parameters are considered as strings/numerics/... and what formatting to apply to each?

I think it's more of a command line parser thing. All strings can be wrapped with " but if they have special chars or spaces then you definitely need to wrap them. And in fact ' may be better... Idk. I'll just commit this!

Actually, have you tried this? I assume you tested all the WebDAV params so you can probably tell or double check whether quotes are needed.

Or if you can rec a quick WebDAV server software to install and run locally for testing, please share 🙂

Ok, I think you are right, it is better to wrap this in '. There seems to be no standard defining the content and structure of tokens for WebDAV (at least it should be some kind of string). What I can tell for the service I am using (it is basically an onwcloud): it supports OAuth 2.0, probably bearer tokens, which might already contain some basic punctuation characters.

Thanks for the tip. Resolving Leaving unresolved for future ref.

Check this link: https://doc.owncloud.com/server/admin_manual/installation/docker/#docker-compose-yaml-file
Copy-paste that into a docker-compose.yml file and then docker-compose up.

Looks good in general but i do have a bunch of small questions now that this is ready for review ☝️ (sorry for the delay, @iksnagreb).

We just realized that PHP is kind of a weird example to have (see #1695 (review)).
We'll be reviewing these sample URLs in #1706, in case you're interested @iksnagreb 🙂
