IT Hit WebDAV AJAX Library Features

No WebDAV and XML Experience Required

The library provides a high-level JavaScript API that eliminates the need for studding WebDAV standards and protocols. The API calls are converted to WebDAV XML requests by the IT Hit WebDAV AJAX library and submitted to WebDAV server. The WebDAV server responses are than parsed by the library and returned to user as high-level objects.

Browser Independent

The IT Hit AJAX Library runs in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Netscape.

Function Entirely Over HTTP/HTTPS

Unlike FTP WebDAV does not require opening port 21 and runs entirely over HTTP via firewalls without any additional configuration. WebDAV also supports secure connection via SSL that is not supported by FTP.

Based on Open Standards

The library is compliant with WebDAV RFC 2518 and allows management of Class 1 and Class 2 compliant WebDAV servers. With IT Hit AJAX Library you can copy, move and delete items, read and set custom properties, lock items and discover locks.

No Deployment Required

Written entirely in JavaScript the library does not require any additional components to be installed. Internally the AJAX library uses latest version of Microsoft XML component when used in Internet Explorer or XmlHttpRequest component in all other browsers.

Upload Progress Support

If your server runs IT Hit WebDAV Server Engine you can upload files using POST multipart request. If your server in addition can report upload progress (implements Resumable Upload feature) you can request amount of bytes uploaded to server and total size of file being uploaded.

Integration Tests

The library code is covered by integration tests, so you can quickly test if your favorite browser is supported. If you change the source code you can be always sure your changes did not brake the library.
