Litmus

Litmus is a WebDAV compliance testing tool. It tries to cover most features and problem areas. It currently only tests against the standard, so passing the litmus test does mean your server will also work for every client.

Our stance

Litmus is a strict tester, and passing it will also require the server to be strict. Our philosophy is "be liberal in what you accept, be strict in what you produce" and these two things don't always match.

Generally if a client would be misbehaving, but an accurate assumption can be made on what the intention of the request was it would be our choice to accept the requests. As an example, Windows clients might make a PROPPATCH request with no body. While this is non-standard, this is interpreted as a PROPPATCH request containing the <allprops /> instruction. Implementing this non-standard feature is required to make the Windows client work, and causes no harm on compliant clients.

That being said, we pass every test.

Test status

This is from the current SVN trunk (r238), litmus 0.12.1 and Apache2 were used for testing.

The Sabre_DAV_FSExt_* classes were used for this server, as this implementation supports locking and custom properties.

Currently all tests are passed.

When using Nginx a warning will be thrown for the delete_fragment test. This is because nginx automatically strips url-fragments (#). Nginx also never completes the expect100 http test. I presume this is a bug in my nginx version.
