Jannik Stehle d40a643fbf feat: add remote item id to search report responses
Adds the remote item id to search `REPORT` responses for shared resources and resources that are part of such. This id represents the id of the original resource that has been shared (= the remote item) and is needed for clients to correctly resolve their locations.

Webdav

The webdav service, like the ocdav service, provides a HTTP API following the webdav protocol. It receives HTTP calls from requestors like clients and issues gRPC calls to other services executing these requests. After the called service has finished the request, the webdav service will render their responses in xml and sends them back to the requestor.

Endpoints Overview

Currently, the webdav service handles request for two functionalities, which are Thumbnails and Search.

Thumbnails

The webdav service provides various GET endpoints to get the thumbnails of a file in authenticated and unauthenticated contexts. It also provides thumbnails for spaces on different endpoints.

See the thumbnail service for more information about thumbnails.

The webdav service provides access to the search functionality. It offers multiple REPORT endpoints for getting search results.

See the search service for more details about search functionality.

Scalability

The webdav service does not persist any data and does not cache any information. Therefore multiple instances of this service can be spawned in a bigger deployment like when using container orchestration with Kubernetes, without any extra configuration.
