# WebDAV Implementation Analysis Report
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the WebDAV implementation after applying critical security fixes and performance optimizations.
|
|
|
|
## Components Overview
|
|
|
|
### 1. **WebdavApi** (`webdav-api.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- Main API layer handling WebDAV protocol operations
|
|
- Implements file upload, download, metadata retrieval, and deletion
|
|
- Features:
|
|
- Path validation to prevent directory traversal attacks
|
|
- Conditional request support (ETags, If-Modified-Since)
|
|
- Automatic directory creation with race condition protection
|
|
- Optimized metadata retrieval with HEAD fallback
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Webdav** (`webdav.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- Service layer implementing `SyncProviderServiceInterface`
|
|
- Bridges sync system with WebDAV API
|
|
- Handles:
|
|
- Configuration management
|
|
- Path construction with extra path support
|
|
- 304 Not Modified responses efficiently
|
|
|
|
### 3. **WebdavXmlParser** (`webdav-xml-parser.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- XML parsing for PROPFIND responses
|
|
- Features:
|
|
- Size validation to prevent DoS attacks (10MB for XML, 100MB for files)
|
|
- HTML error page detection
|
|
- Malformed XML handling
|
|
- Proper UTF-8 decoding of file paths
|
|
|
|
### 4. **WebDavHttpAdapter** (`webdav-http-adapter.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- Platform-agnostic HTTP client
|
|
- Supports:
|
|
- CapacitorHttp for Android WebView
|
|
- Standard fetch API for other platforms
|
|
- 304 Not Modified as valid response
|
|
- Comprehensive error handling
|
|
|
|
### 5. **WebDAV Constants** (`webdav.const.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- Centralized HTTP status codes, methods, and headers
|
|
- Improves maintainability and reduces magic numbers
|
|
|
|
## Security Enhancements Implemented
|
|
|
|
1. **Path Traversal Protection**
|
|
|
|
- Validates paths to prevent `..` and `//` sequences
|
|
- Normalizes paths to prevent escape attempts
|
|
|
|
2. **DoS Prevention**
|
|
|
|
- XML response size limited to 10MB
|
|
- File content size limited to 100MB
|
|
- Basic XML structure validation
|
|
|
|
3. **Safe Header Handling**
|
|
|
|
- Null-safe header access in all operations
|
|
- Proper validation of numeric values (content-length)
|
|
|
|
4. **Authentication**
|
|
- Basic Auth implementation with proper header construction
|
|
- Credentials stored securely via `SyncProviderPrivateCfgStore`
|
|
|
|
## Performance Optimizations
|
|
|
|
1. **Conditional Requests**
|
|
|
|
- Proper If-None-Match/If-Modified-Since headers
|
|
- 304 responses handled efficiently without retries
|
|
|
|
2. **Metadata Retrieval**
|
|
|
|
- HEAD request fallback before expensive PROPFIND
|
|
- Caching of ETags and Last-Modified dates
|
|
|
|
3. **Directory Creation**
|
|
|
|
- Queue-based approach prevents race conditions
|
|
- Concurrent uploads to same directory handled gracefully
|
|
|
|
4. **Request Optimization**
|
|
- Reuses HTTP connections where possible
|
|
- Minimizes round trips for metadata
|
|
|
|
## Reliability Improvements
|
|
|
|
1. **Error Recovery**
|
|
|
|
- 409 Conflict triggers automatic parent directory creation
|
|
- Multiple fallback strategies for metadata retrieval
|
|
- Graceful handling of missing headers
|
|
|
|
2. **Server Compatibility**
|
|
|
|
- Works with servers that don't return ETags on PUT
|
|
- Handles various date formats for Last-Modified
|
|
- Supports both ETags and timestamps for versioning
|
|
|
|
3. **Data Integrity**
|
|
- Validates response content isn't HTML error pages
|
|
- Proper precondition checks (If-Match) for uploads
|
|
- Vector clock synchronization support
|
|
|
|
## Test Coverage
|
|
|
|
- **webdav-api.spec.ts**: 22 tests covering all API methods
|
|
- **webdav-xml-parser.spec.ts**: 17 tests for XML parsing edge cases
|
|
- **webdav-http-adapter.spec.ts**: 14 tests (5 CapacitorHttp tests skipped)
|
|
- All tests passing with proper mocking and error scenarios
|
|
|
|
## Remaining Considerations
|
|
|
|
1. **Future Enhancements**
|
|
|
|
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
|
|
- Add request queuing to enforce maxConcurrentRequests
|
|
- Support for LOCK/UNLOCK for concurrent access
|
|
- WebDAV server capability detection
|
|
|
|
2. **Known Limitations**
|
|
|
|
- No support for collection operations (directory listing)
|
|
- Limited to basic WebDAV operations
|
|
- No support for custom properties
|
|
- CapacitorHttp tests require real environment
|
|
|
|
3. **Configuration Options**
|
|
- `WebdavServerCapabilities` defined but not utilized
|
|
- Could adapt behavior based on server features
|
|
- No support for digest authentication
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
