## Project history and usage

Davix is a CERN-developed library and command-line tool suite for managing files over HTTP-based protocols such as WebDAV, S3-compatible services, and Azure-compatible services.

### Project history

The Davix README says the project is developed by CERN IT for CERN grid use while keeping the functionality generic. Its official documentation presents the same focus on HTTP-based file management and grid-oriented authentication.

### Adoption history

Davix adoption follows high-energy-physics and grid-storage needs: it packages HTTP, WebDAV, X.509, VOMS, S3, and Azure-style access behind a shared library and Unix-style command-line tools.

### How it is used

Package users typically use tools such as `davix-get`, `davix-put`, `davix-ls`, and `davix-rm`, or link against libdavix through file-oriented and POSIX-like APIs.

### Why package nerds care

Davix matters to package catalogs because it is the pragmatic glue between scientific storage infrastructure and ordinary command-line file operations.

### Timeline

- 2010s: Davix is developed at CERN for grid-oriented HTTP file management.
- 2016: Official documentation describes Davix 0.7-era usage and installation.
- 2020s: The GitHub repository remains the official development location, mirrored to CERN GitLab for CI.

### Related projects

- Related technologies include WebDAV, HTTP, CERN grid storage, VOMS, X.509 proxies, S3-compatible storage, Azure-compatible storage, and ROOT's TDavixFile integration.
