Extension support for Nextcloud and Owncloud?

[skshetry]

Also, look for CreationDate and ModifiedDate with X-OC- headers. See if they should/could be used instead. Also, we should consider supporting touch and/or modifying datetimes for Owncloud and Nextcloud.

This would be a great feature! Thank you for your work on this.

@amichuda, what feature are you thinking of?

[Seriousness]

I've added some customizations locally but don't feel save enough for commiting a pull request. So I just leave it here. What it does: optional named parameters for upload_file+upload_file_objects and introducing one that is named headers and is later merged with the chunk_size one.

so I have the git copied to moduls/webdav4 which results in this strange path:

from modules.webdav4.src.webdav4.client import Client, ResourceAlreadyExists
client = Client(nextcloud_url + "/remote.php/dav/files/" + username + '/', auth=(username, password))
local_timestamp = os.path.getmtime(full_path)
client.upload_file(
                    full_path,
                    nextcloud_file_path,
                    headers = {'X-OC-MTIME': str(int(local_timestamp))},
                    overwrite = True,
                    callback=progress_callback
                )

updated client.py

def upload_file(
        self,
        from_path: "PathLike[AnyStr]",
        to_path: str,
        *,
        overwrite: bool = False,
        chunk_size: int = None,
        callback: Callable[[int], Any] = None,
        headers: Dict[str, Any] = {}
    ) -> None:
        """Upload file from local path to a given remote path."""

        with open(from_path, mode="rb") as fobj:
            self.upload_fileobj(
                fobj,
                to_path,
                **{
                    'overwrite': overwrite,
                    'callback': callback,
                    'chunk_size': chunk_size,
                    'headers': headers
                }
            )

    def upload_fileobj(
        self,
        file_obj: BinaryIO,
        to_path: str,
        *,
        overwrite: bool = False,
        callback: Callable[[int], Any] = None,
        chunk_size: int = None,
        size: int = None,
        headers: Dict[str, Any] = {}
    ) -> None:
        """Upload file from file object to given path."""
        # we try to avoid chunked transfer as much as possible
        # so we try to use size as a hint if provided.
        # else, we will try to find that out from the file object
        # if we are not successful in that, we gracefully fallback
        # to the chunked encoding.
        if size is None:
            size = peek_filelike_length(file_obj)

        # merge headers plus content-length
        headers = headers | {"Content-Length": str(size)} if size is not None else None
        if not overwrite and self.exists(to_path):
            raise ResourceAlreadyExists(to_path)

        wrapped = wrap_file_like(file_obj, callback)
        content = read_chunks(
            wrapped, chunk_size=chunk_size or self.chunk_size
        )

        http_resp = self.request(
            HTTPMethod.PUT, to_path, content=content, headers=headers
        )
        http_resp.raise_for_status()

if somebody could tell me how arguments should work for the lib I'd gladly adjust my code and try a pull request...

Hi, I am open to support headers= in client.upload_fileobj() and client.upload_file().

[Seriousness]

Including the optional named things I did?
