WebDAV server based on Flask.
## Generate a certificate at the project's root
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa -days 365 -keyout "ssl.key" -x509 -out "ssl.cert"
## Code
### HTTPS support
flaskdav supports HTTPS when running with options <code>--cert path/to/certificate</code> and <code>--key path/to/key</code>.
To generate a private key and associated SSL certificate:
<pre><code>openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa -days 365 -keyout "ssl.key" -x509 -out "ssl.cert"</code></pre>
### Cookie authentication
A cookie is set for every different Origin and contains a HMAC signature of the Origin and the User-Agent of the app accessing it. The cookie is set with HttpOnly flag, so that it cannot be read by JavaScript apps.
The HMAC key is reset each time you restart the server.
