Ideally this path would be configurable, but we could leave that for a follow-up PR.

Do you mean something like:

def set_principal(self, user, principal_path_prefix="/", principal_path_suffix="/"):
    principal = principal_path_prefix + user + principal_path_suffix

Yep, exactly. Though we'd probably want those extra paths to come from a command-line argument/configuration file.

SCRIPT_NAME is a bit of a misnomer, but it's named after a similar variable in the CGI world - it's the bit of the path to Xandikos itself. If Xandikos is under https://foo.example.com/dav/, then SCRIPT_NAME would be /dav/.

if not self.get_resource(principal):
if os.getenv("AUTOCREATE"):
self.create_principal(
principal, create_defaults=True
)
self._mark_as_principal(principal)

class XandikosApp(webdav.WebDAVApp):
"""A wsgi App that provides a Xandikos web server."""
