The Litmus Test
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.
The litmus test just tests WebDAV, as a fileserver. Cal- and CardDAV and other extensions are not part of this test.
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. This may also depend on how popular the client is. For instance,
NetDrive sends PROPFIND requests with an empty
That being said, we pass every test.
Test status
This is from a stable release (1.8.8), litmus 0.13 and Apache2 were used for testing.
The Sabre\DAV\FSExt
classes were used for this server, as this
implementation supports custom properties.
Currently all tests pass.
