Connecting to WebDAV

The following properties can be specified loading data from a WebDAV connection.

Not all properties listed here may be necessary when creating the data connection. However, at a minimum, basic information must be provided.

Basic Information

• Title - The name of the connection.
• Description - The description (optional) of the connection.
• Host - The IP address or hostname of the storage system.
• Port - The network port number through which the storage system connects.
• Username - The user account used to authenticate access to the storage system.
• Password - The password corresponding to the user account.
• Base Directory - The base directory for the connection.

WebDAV Options

• Creator Name - The name or ID of the user who created the storage connection.
• Versioning - Whether to track and retain multiple versions of stored objects or files.
• User Agent - The client identifier string sent in requests to the server.
• Connect Timeout - The maximum time (e.g., in milliseconds) to wait to establish the connection before failing.
• Read Timeout - The maximum time allowed for reading data from the connection before timing out.
• Cookie -
• Follow Redirect - Whether HTTP redirect responses from the storage system should be automatically followed.
• Hostname Verification Enabled - Whether hostname verification should be enabled.
• Keep Alive - Whether persistent connections should be maintained to reuse sessions for multiple requests.
• Max Connections per Host - The maximum number of simultaneous network connections allowed to a single host.
• Max Total Connections - The maximum number of concurrent network connections allowed to a single host.
• Key Store File - The file path to the keystore.
• Key Store Pass - The password to the keystore file.
• Preemptive Auth - Whether authentication credentials should be sent immediately with the first request instead of waiting for a server challenge.
• Url Charset - The character encoding used for encoding and decoding URLs and query parameters in HTTP requests.

Proxy Options

• Proxy Type - The protocol used by the proxy server (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, DIRECT).
• Proxy Host - The proxy server's network address or domain name.
• Proxy Port - The network port number through which the proxy server communicates.
• Proxy Username - The user account name required for proxy authentication.
• Proxy Password - The corresponding password used to authenticate the proxy user.

Advanced

Concurrency Control

• Maximum Allowed Concurrency - The overall limit on concurrent executions used to process the source.
• Number of Nodes - The number of nodes to use when processing the source.
• Executors per Node - The number of executors to use per node when processing the source.
• Maximum Request Rate - The maximum aggregate request rate against the source (e.g., 100 / s, 480 / minute).

Localization Settings

• Locale - The locale to use when parsing dates and numbers (e.g., ar-SA, en-US, ja-JP).
• Character Encoding - The default character encoding used by the connection (e.g., EBCDIC, UTF-8).
• Timezone - The timezone to use for dates and times that don't contain one (e.g., GMT+2, PST).

Data Formats

• Recognize only the configured formats - Specifies whether only those formats configured here should be recognized.
• DateTime Formats - How date and time values should be encoded (e.g., yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss, MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm, dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss).
• Date Formats - How calendar dates without time information should be encoded (e.g., yyyy-MM-dd, MM/dd/yyyy, dd-MMM-yyyy).
• Time Formats - How time-of-day values should be encoded (e.g., HH:mm:ss, hh:mm a, HH:mm:ss.SSS).
• Boolean Formats - How true/false or binary logical values should be encoded (e.g., true/false, 1/0, Y/N).
• Double Formats - How double-precision floating values should be encoded (e.g., ##,##0.00, $, %).
• Float Formats - How single-precision floating-point values should be encoded (e.g., ##,##0.00, %, e).
• Integer Formats - How whole numbers should be encoded (e.g., #, #,###,##0).
• Long Formats - How long integer values exceeding the range of standard integers should be encoded (e.g., #, #,###,##0).
• Month Formats - How standalone month values should be encoded (e.g., MM, MMMM).
• Year Month Formats - How combined month and year values should be encoded (e.g., yyyy MM, yyyy-MMM).
• Month Day Formats - How combined month/day values should be encoded (e.g., MM-dd, MMM dd, MM/dd)
• Year Formats - How standalone year values are encoded (e.g., yyyy, YY).
