setup
-----

(you need "python-xml" and "python-m2crypto" in order to run the scripts)

1) copy testconfig.py.in to testconfig.py (make sure to never EVER add it to monotone)
2) edit testconfig.py to suit your environment
3) run the test scripts

runnable scripts
----------------

webdav-sync.py

other scripts
-------------

propfind.py - a sample implementation of a PROPFIND request using webdavlib

* developers
------------

- Test methods are always prefixed with "test". Sometimes, it's easier to
track down a problem by enabling only one test at a time. One possible method
is to replace "def test" with "def xtest" and replace it back when the
problems are solved.

- Test failures start with "FAIL:". Those are the ones that indicate possible
  bugs in the application, if the test is well written.
  For example like this:

======================================================================
FAIL: 'modify' PUBLIC, 'view all' PRIVATE, 'view d&t' confidential
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./davacl.py", line 75, in testModifyPublicViewAllPrivateViewDConfidential
    self._testRights({ "pu": "m", "pr": "v", "co": "d" })
  File "./davacl.py", line 119, in _testRights
    self._testCreate(rights)
  File "./davacl.py", line 165, in _testCreate
    exp_code)
  File "./davacl.py", line 107, in _putEvent
    % (exp_status, put.response["status"]))
AssertionError: event creation/modification: expected status code '403' (received '201')

- Test errors start with "ERRORS" and most likely indicate a bug in the test
  code itself.

- Always set a doc string on the test methods, especially for complex test
  cases
