The Definitive Command Cheat Sheet for Rails Beginners. March 7th 2020 1,683 reads @melbeavsmelbeavs When I was a newbie in Rails, the first couple of weeks I. GitHub - PragTob/rails-beginner-cheatsheet: A cheat sheet for rails beginners, taking care of a lot of basic stuff and information. Aimed at helping beginners too look up stuff. Originally created for my RailsGirls project group. . From all the following cheat sheet consider the model name as Model Create a new empty model Model.new Create an object with some params and save it. Model.create(:field1 = 'value1',:field2 = 2 ) Just saving the model Model.save Search for a field = value and create if not found Model.findorcreatebyfield( value ).

Bold words are what is really important e.g. the command and concept shown in the usage category. In the code usage and example columns these highlight the main part of the concept, like this: general_stuff.concept. In the same columns italic_words mark the arguments/parameters of a command/method.

However italic words in the descriptions or general text denote more general concepts or concepts explained elsewhere in this cheat sheet or in general.

The console (also called command line, command prompt or terminal) is just another way of interacting with your computer. So you can basically do anything with it that you could also do with your graphical desktop user interface. This sections contains a couple of examples.

For the different operating systems starting the console differs.

• Windows: Open the start menu and search for command prompt. Alternatively choose execute and enter cmd.
• Mac: Open Spotlight, type terminal, and start that program.
• Linux: The terminal should be one of the main options once you open the main menu of your distribution. Otherwise search for terminal if your distribution has such an option or look under Accessories.

Concept	Usage	Examples	Description
Change directory	cddirectory	cd my_app cd my_app/app/controllers	Changes the directory to the specified directory on the console.
List contents directory	lsdirectory Windows: dirdirectory	ls lsmy_app	Shows all contents (files and folders) of the directory. If no directory is specified shows the contents of the current directory.
Directory you are currently in	pwd	pwd	Shows the full path of the directory you are currently in. E.g. /home/tobi/railsgirls A note on filenames: if a file or directory name starts with a slash / as in the output of pwd above, it is an absolute filename specifying the complete filename starting at the root of the current file system (e.g. hard disk). If the slash (/) is omitted, the file name is relative to the current working directory.
Create a new directory	mkdirname	mkdirrails mkdirfun	Creates a directory with the given name in the folder you are currently in.
Delete a file	rmfile Windows: delfile	rmfoo rmindex.html rmpictures/old_picture.jpg	Deletes the specified file. Be extra cautious with this as it would be too bad to delete something you still need :-( You can simply specify the name of a file of the directory you are currently in. However you can also specify a path, this is shown in the third example. There we delete the old_picture.jpg file from the pictures folder.
Delete a directory	rm -rfolder Windows: rdfolder App cleaner apk.	rm -rstuff_i_dont_need rm -rstuff_i_dont_need/ rm -rold_application	Deletes the specified folder and all of its contents. So please be super cautious with this! Make sure that you do not need any of the contents of this folder any more. So why would you want to delete a whole folder? Well maybe it was an old application that you do not need anymore :-)
Starting a program	programarguments	firefox firefoxrailsgirlsberlin.de irb	Starts the program with the given name and arbitrary arguments if the program takes arguments. Firefox is just one example. Starting Firefox without arguments just opens up Firefox. If you give it an argument it opens the specified URL. When you type in irb this starts interactive ruby.
Abort the program	Press Ctrl + C	-	This will abort the program currently running in the terminal. For instance this is used to shut down the Rails server. You can also abort many other related tasks with it, including: bundle install, rake db:migrate, git pull and many more!

Ruby is the programming language Ruby on Rails is written in. So most of the time you will be writing Ruby code. Therefore it is good to grasp the basics of Ruby. If you just want to play with Ruby, type irb into your console to start interactive ruby. There you can easily experiment with Ruby. To leave irb, type exit.

This is just a very small selection of concepts. This is especially true later on when we talk about what Arrays, Strings etc. can do. For more complete information have a look at ruby-doc or search with your favorite search engine!

General concepts

Concept	Usage	Examples	Description
Comment	#Comment text	#This text is a comment some.ruby_code # A comment # some.ignored_ruby_code	Ruby ignores everything that is marked as a comment. It does not try to execute it. Comments are just there for you as information. Comments are also commonly used to comment out code. That is when you don't want some part of your code to execute but you don't want to delete it just yet, because you are trying different things out.
Variables	variable =some_value	With a variable you tell Ruby that from now on you want to refer to that value by the name you gave it. So for the first example, from now on when you use name Ruby will know that you meant 'Tobi'.
Console output	putssomething	puts'Hello World' puts[1, 5, 'mooo']	Prints its argument to the console. Can be used in Rails apps to print something in the console where the server is running.
Call a method	object.method(arguments)	string.length array.delete_at(2) string.gsub('ae', 'ä')	Calling a method is also often referred to as sending a message in Ruby. Basically we are sending an object some kind of message and are waiting for its response. This message may have no arguments or multiple arguments, depending on the message. So we kindly ask the object to do something or give us some information. When you 'call a method' or 'send a message' something happens. In the first example we ask a String how long it is (how many characters it consists of). In the last example we substitute all occurrences of 'ae' in the string with the German 'ä'. Different kinds of objects (Strings, Numbers, Arrays..) understand different messages.
Define a method	Methods are basically reusable units of behaviour. And you can define them yourself just like this. Methods are small and focused on implementing a specific behaviour. Our example method is focused on greeting people. You could call it like this: greet('Tobi')
Equality	object other	true true # => true 3 4 # => false 'Hello' 'Hello' # => true 'Helo' 'Hello' # => false	With two equal signs you can check if two things are the same. If so, true will be returned; otherwise, the result will be false.
Inequality	object != other	true != true # => false 3 != 4 # => true	Inequality is the inverse to equality, e.g. it results in true when two values are not the same and it results in false when they are the same.
Decisions with if	With if-clauses you can decide based upon a condition what to do. When the condition is considered true, then the code after it is executed. If it is considered false, the code after the 'else' is executed. In the example, access is granted based upon the decision if a given input matches the password.
Constants	CONSTANT =some_value	Constants look like variables, just in UPCASE. Both hold values and give you a name to refer to those values. However while the value a variable holds may change or might be of an unknown value (if you save user input in a variable) constants are different. They have a known value that should never change. Think of it a bit like mathematical or physical constants. These don't change, they always refer to the same value.

Numbers

Numbers are what you would expect them to be, normal numbers that you use to perform basic math operations.

More information about numbers can be found in the ruby-doc of Numeric.

Concept	Usage	Examples	Description
normal Number	number_of_your_choice	0 -11 42	Numbers are natural for Ruby, you just have to enter them!
Decimals	main.decimal	3.2 -5.0	You can achieve decimal numbers in Ruby simply by adding a point.
Basic Math	n operatorm	2 +3 # => 5 5 -7 # => -2 8 *7 # => 56 84 /4 # => 21	In Ruby you can easily use basic math operations. In that sense you may use Ruby as a super-powered calculator.
Comparison	n operatorm	12 >3 # => true 12 <3 # => false 7 >=7 # => true	Numbers may be compared to determine if a number is bigger or smaller than another number. When you have the age of a person saved in the age variable you can see if that person is considered an adult in Germany: age >= 18 # true or false

Strings

Strings are used to hold textual information. They may contain single characters, words, sentences or a whole book. However you may just think of them as an ordered collection of characters.

You can find out more about Strings at the ruby-doc page about Strings.

Concept	Usage	Examples	Description
Create	'A string'	'Hello World' 'a' 'Just characters 129 _!$%^' '	A string is created by putting quotation marks around a character sequence. A Ruby style guide recommends using single quotes for simple strings.
Interpolation	'A string and an #{expression}'	'Email: #{user.email}' 'The total is #{2 + 2}' 'A simple string'	You can combine a string with a variable or Ruby expression using double quotation marks. This is called 'interpolation.' It is okay to use double quotation marks around a simple string, too.
Length	string.length	'Hello'.length # => 5 '.length # => 0	You can send a string a message, asking it how long it is and it will respond with the number of characters it consists of. You could use this to check if the desired password of a user exceeds the required minimum length. Notice how we add a comment to show the expected result.
Concatenate	string +string2	'a' +'b'+'c' # => 'abc'	Concatenates two or more strings together and returns the result.
Substitute	gsub stands for 'globally substitute'. It substitutes all occurrences of a_string within the string with substitute.
Access	string[position]	'Hello'[1] # => 'e'	Access the character at the given position in the string. Be aware that the first position is actually position 0.

Arrays

An array is an ordered collection of items which is indexed by numbers. So an array contains multiple objects that are mostly related to each other. So what could you do? You could store a collection of the names of your favorite fruits and name it fruits.

This is just a small selection of things an Array can do. For more information have a look at the ruby-doc for Array.

Concept	Usage	Examples	Description
Create	[contents]	[] ['Rails', 'fun', 5]	Creates an Array, empty or with the specified contents.
Number of elements	array.size	[].size # => 0 [1, 2, 3].size # => 3 ['foo', 'bar'].size # => 2	Returns the number of elements in an Array.
Access	array[position]	As an Array is a collection of different elements, you often want to access a single element of the Array. Arrays are indexed by numbers so you can use a number to access an individual element. Be aware that the numbering actually starts with '0' so the first element actually is the 0th. And the last element of a three element array is element number 2.
Adding an element	array <<element	Adds the element to the end of the array, increasing the size of the array by one.
Assigning	array[number] = value	Assigning new Array Values works a lot like accessing them; use an equals sign to set a new value. Voila! You changed an element of the array! Weehuuuuu!
Delete at index	array.delete_at(i)	Deletes the element of the array at the specified index. Remember that indexing starts at 0. If you specify an index larger than the number of elements in the array, nothing will happen.
Iterating	array.eachdo |e| . end	persons.eachdo |p| puts p.name end numbers.eachdo |n| n = n * 2 end	'Iterating' means doing something for each element of the array. Code placed between do and end determines what is done to each element in the array. The first example prints the name of every person in the array to the console. The second example simply doubles every number of a given array.

Hashes

Hashes associate a key to some value. You may then retrieve the value based upon its key. This construct is called a dictionary in other languages, which is appropriate because you use the key to 'look up' a value, as you would look up a definition for a word in a dictionary. Each key must be unique for a given hash but values can be repeated.

Hashes can map from anything to anything! You can map from Strings to Numbers, Strings to Strings, Numbers to Booleans.. and you can mix all of those! Although it is common that at least all the keys are of the same class. Symbols are especially common as keys. Symbols look like this: :symbol. A symbol is a colon followed by some characters. You can think of them as special strings that stand for (symbolize) something! We often use symbols because Ruby runs faster when we use symbols instead of strings.

Learn more about hashes at ruby-doc.

Concept	Usage	Examples	Description
Creating	{key => value}	{:hobby => 'programming'}	You create a hash by surrounding the key-value pairs with curly braces. The arrow always goes from the key to the value depicting the meaning: 'This key points to this value.'. Key-value pairs are then separated by commas.
Accessing	hash[key]	Accessing an entry in a hash looks a lot like accessing it in an array. However with a hash the key can be anything, not just numbers. If you try to access a key that does not exist, the value nil is returned, which is Ruby's way of saying 'nothing', because if it doesn't recognize the key it can't return a value for it.
Assigning	hash[key] = value	Assigning values to a hash is similar to assigning values to an array. With a hash, the key can be a number or it can be a symbol, string, number.. or anything, really!
Deleting	hash.delete(key)	You can delete a specified key from the hash, so that the key and its value can not be accessed.

This is an introduction to the basics of Rails. We look at the general structure of a Rails application and the important commands used in the terminal.

If you do not have Rails installed yet, there is a well maintained guide by Daniel Kehoe on how to install Rails on different platforms.

Rails G Model Reference

The Structure of a Rails app

Here is an overview of all the folders of a new Rails application, outliningthe purpose of each folder, and describing the most important files.

Name	Description
app	This folder contains your application. Therefore it is the most important folder in Ruby on Rails and it is worth digging into its subfolders. See the following rows.
app/assets	Assets basically are your front-end stuff. This folder contains images you use on your website, javascripts for all your fancy front-end interaction and stylesheets for all your CSS making your website absolutely beautiful.
app/controllers	The controllers subdirectory contains the controllers, which handle the requests from the users. It is often responsible for a single resource type, such as places, users or attendees. Controllers also tie together the models and the views.
app/helpers	Helpers are used to take care of logic that is needed in the views in order to keep the views clean of logic and reuse that logic in multiple views.
app/mailers	Functionality to send emails goes here.
app/models	The models subdirectory holds the classes that model the business logic of our application. It is concerned with the things our application is about. Often this is data, that is also saved in the database. Examples here are a Person, or a Place class with all their typical behaviour.
app/views	The views subdirectory contains the display templates that will be displayed to the user after a successful request. By default they are written in HTML with embedded ruby (.html.erb). The embedded ruby is used to insert data from the application. It is then converted to HTML and sent to the browser of the user. It has subdirectories for every resource of our application, e.g. places, persons. These subdirectories contain the associated view files. Files starting with an underscore (_) are called partials. Those are parts of a view which are reused in other views. A common example is _form.html.erb which contains the basic form for a given resource. It is used in the new and in the edit view since creating something and editing something looks pretty similar.
config	This directory contains the configuration files that your application will need, including your database configuration (in database.yml) and the particularly important routes.rb which decides how web requests are handled. The routes.rb file matches a given URL with the controller which will handle the request.
db	Contains a lot of database related files. Most importantly the migrations subdirectory, containing all your database migration files. Migrations set up your database structure, including the attributes of your models. With migrations you can add new attributes to existing models or create new models. So you could add the favorite_color attribute to your Person model so everyone can specify their favorite color.
doc	Contains the documentation you create for your application. Not too important when starting out.
lib	Short for library. Contains code you've developed that is used in your application and may be used elsewhere. For example, this might be code used to get specific information from Facebook.
log	See all the funny stuff that is written in the console where you started the Rails server? It is written to your development.log. Logs contain runtime information of your application. If an error happens, it will be recorded here.
public	Contains static files that do not contain Ruby code, such as error pages.
script	By default contains what is executed when you type in the rails command. Seldom of importance to beginners.
test	Contains the tests for your application. With tests you make sure that your application actually does what you think it does. This directory might also be called spec, if you are using the RSpec gem (an alternative testing framework).
vendor	A folder for software code provided by others ('libraries'). Most often, libraries are provided as ruby gems and installed using the Gemfile. If code is not available as a ruby gem then you should put it here. This might be the case for jQuery plugins. Probably won't be used that often in the beginning.
Gemfile	A file that specifies a list of gems that are required to run your application. Rails itself is a gem you will find listed in the Gemfile. Ruby gems are self-contained packages of code, more generally called libraries, that add functionality or features to your application. If you want to add a new gem to your application, add 'gemgem_name' to your Gemfile, optionally specifying a version number. Save the file and then run bundle install to install the gem.
Gemfile.lock	This file specifies the exact versions of all gems you use. Because some gems depend on other gems, Ruby will install all you need automatically. The file also contains specific version numbers. It can be used to make sure that everyone within a team is working with the same versions of gems. The file is auto-generated. Do not edit this file.

Important Rails commands

Here is a summary of important commands that can be used as you develop your Ruby on Rails app. You must be in the root directory of your project to run any of these commands (with the exception of the rails new command). The project or application root directory is the folder containing all the subfolders described above (app, config, etc.).

Concept	Usage	Description
Create a new app	rails newname	Create a new Ruby on Rails application with the given name here. This will give you the basic structure to immediately get started. After this command has successfully run your application is in a folder with the same name you gave the application. You have to cd into that folder.
Start the server	rails server	You have to start the server in order for your application to respond to your requests. Starting the server might take some time. When it is done, you can access your application under localhost:3000 in the browser of your choice. In order to stop the server, go to the console where it is running and press Ctrl + C
Scaffolding	rails generate scaffoldname attribute:type	The scaffold command magically generates all the common things needed for a new resource for you! This includes controllers, models and views. It also creates the following basic actions: create a new resource, edit a resource, show a resource, and delete a resource. That's all the basics you need. Take this example: rails generate scaffoldproduct name:string price:integer Now you can create new products, edit them, view them and delete them if you don't need them anymore. Nothing stops you from creating a full fledged web shop now ;-)
Run migrations	rake db:migrate	When you add a new migration, for example by creating a new scaffold, the migration has to be applied to your database. The command is used to update your database.
Install dependencies	bundle install	If you just added a new gem to your Gemfile you should run bundle install to install it. Don't forget to restart your server afterwards!
Check dependencies	bundle check	Checks if the dependencies listed in Gemfile are satisfied by currently installed gems
Show existing routes	rake routes	Shows complete list of available routes in your application.

ERB: Embedded Ruby

In your views (that is, under app/views in your Rails app) you will find .html.erb files. ERB stands for Embedded RuBy. This just means that Rails processes some special tags in those files and produces HTML output to send back to the user.

There are two ERB tags that you need to remember: <%= ruby_code %> and <% ruby_code %>. Notice that the difference is the = in the first tag.

Tag	Examples	Description
<%= %>	<%= @product.price %>	It runs the Ruby code and inserts the result to the HTML at that position. You can put any kind of Ruby code between <%= and %>, for instance, <%= 9 * 3 %> will translate to 27 in the page that the user is viewing. However, typically this tag is used to display some data from a model, such as the price of a product, as shown in the example here.
<% %>	The Ruby code between the delimiters <% and %> is run but the result will not be inserted at this point in the HTML. Therefore these tags are most commonly used for control flow structures such as an if statement in the example, or loops.

When you write code you will be using a text editor. Of course each text editor is different and configurable. Here are just some functions and their most general short cuts. All of them work in Sublime Text 2. Your editor may differ!

The shortcuts listed here are for Linux/Windows. On a Mac you will have to replace Ctrl with Cmd.

Function	Shortcut	Description
Save file	Ctrl + S	Saves the currently open file. If it was a new file you may also be asked where to save it.
Undo	Ctrl + Z	Undo the last change you made to the current file. Can be applied multiple times in succession to undo multiple changes.
Redo	Ctrl + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Z	Redo what you just undid with undo, can also be done multiple times.
Find in File	Ctrl + F	Search for a character sequence within the currently open file. Hit Enter to progress to the next match.
Find in all Files	Ctrl + Shift + F	Search for a character sequence in all files of the project.
Replace	Ctrl + H or Ctrl + R	Replace occurrences of the supplied character sequence with the other supplied character sequence. Useful when renaming something.
Copy	Ctrl + C	Copy the currently highlighted text into the clipboard.
Cut	Ctrl + X	Copy the highlighted text into the clipboard but delete it.
Paste	Ctrl + V	Insert whatever currently is in the clipboard (through Copy or Cut) at the current caret position. Can insert multiple times.
New File	Ctrl + N	Create a new empty file.
Search and open file	Ctrl + P	Search for a file giving part of its name (fuzzy search). Pressing enter will open the selected file.
Comment	Ctrl + /	Marks the selected text as a comment, which means that it will be ignored. Useful when you want to see how something behaves or looks without a specific section of code being run.

Things go wrong all the time. Don't worry, this happens to everyone. So keep calm. When you encounter an error, just google the error message. For best results, add the keywords 'rails' or 'ruby'. Results from stackoverflow.com are often really helpful. Look for those! The most experienced developers do this frequently ;-).

Here are common mistakes with a little checklist:

• Have you run rake db:migrate to apply the newest database migrations?
• Have you really saved the file you just changed? Unsaved files are often marked in the editor via an asterisk or a point next to their name.
• If you just added a gem to the Gemfile, have you run bundle install to install it?
• If you just installed a gem, have you restarted the server?

Rails Cheat Sheet

HTTP status codes and their respective Rails symbol representations. For example, :not_found can be used instead of 404 in a render call:

1xx Informational

:continue	The server has received the request headers, and that the client should proceed to send the request body.
:switching_protocols	The requester has asked the server to switch protocols and the server is acknowledging that it will do so.
Iphone wallpaper for mac os. :processing	The server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet.

2xx Success

Rails G Migration

:ok	The standard response for successful HTTP requests.
:created	The request has been fulfilled and a new resource has been created.
:accepted	The request has been accepted but has not been processed yet. This code does not guarantee that the request will process successfully.
:non_authoritative_information	HTTP 1.1. The server successfully processed the request but is returning information from another source.
:no_content	The server accepted the request but is not returning any content. This is often used as a response to a DELETE request.
:reset_content	Similar to a 204 No Content response but this response requires the requester to reset the document view.
:partial_content	The server is delivering only a portion of the content, as requested by the client via a range header.
:multi_status	The message body that follows is an XML message and can contain a number of separate response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made. WebDAV - RFC 4918
:already_reported	The members of a DAV binding have already been enumerated in a previous reply to this request, and are not being included again. WebDAV - RFC 5842
:im_used	The server has fulfilled a GET request for the resource, and the response is a representation of the result of one or more instance-manipulations applied to the current instance.

3xx Redirection

:multiple_choices	There are multiple options that the client may follow.
:moved_permanently	The resource has been moved and all further requests should reference its new URI.
:found	The HTTP 1.0 specification described this status as 'Moved Temporarily', but popular browsers respond to this status similar to behavior intended for 303. The resource can be retrieved by referencing the returned URI.
:see_other	The resource can be retrieved by following other URI using the GET method. When received in response to a POST, PUT, or DELETE, it can usually be assumed that the server processed the request successfully and is sending the client to an informational endpoint.
:not_modified	The resource has not been modified since the version specified in If-Modified-Since or If-Match headers. The resource will not be returned in response body.
:use_proxy	HTTP 1.1. The resource is only available through a proxy and the address is provided in the response.
:reserved	Deprecated in HTTP 1.1. Used to mean that subsequent requests should be sent using the specified proxy.
:temporary_redirect	HTTP 1.1. The request should be repeated with the URI provided in the response, but future requests should still call the original URI.
:permanent_redirect	Experimental. The request and all future requests should be repeated with the URI provided in the response. The HTTP method is not allowed to be changed in the subsequent request.

4xx Client Error

:bad_request	The request could not be fulfilled due to the incorrect syntax of the request.
:unauthorized	The requestor is not authorized to access the resource. This is similar to 402 but is used in cases where authentication is expected but has failed or has not been provided.
:payment_required	Reserved for future use. Some web services use this as an indication that the client has sent an excessive number of requests.
:forbidden	The request was formatted correctly but the server is refusing to supply the requested resource. Unlike 402, authenticating will not make a difference in the server's response.
:not_found	The resource could not be found. This is often used as a catch-all for all invalid URIs requested of the server.
:method_not_allowed	The resource was requested using a method that is not allowed. For example, requesting a resource via a POST method when the resource only supports the GET method.
:not_acceptable	The resource is valid, but cannot be provided in a format specified in the Accept headers in the request.
:proxy_authentication_required	Authentication is required with the proxy before requests can be fulfilled.
:request_timeout	The server timed out waiting for a request from the client. The client is allowed to repeat the request.
:conflict	The request cannot be completed due to a conflict in the request parameters.
:gone	The resource is no longer available at the requested URI and no redirection will be given.
:length_required	The request did not specify the length of its content as required by the resource.
:precondition_failed	The server does not meet one of the preconditions specified by the client.
:request_entity_too_large	The request is larger than what the server is able to process.
:request_uri_too_long	The URI provided in the request is too long for the server to process. This is often used when too much data has been encoded into the URI of a GET request and a POST request should be used instead.
:unsupported_media_type	The client provided data with a media type that the server does not support.
:requested_range_not_satisfiable	The client has asked for a portion of the resource but the server cannot supply that portion.
:expectation_failed	The server cannot meet the requirements of the Expect request-header field.
:unprocessable_entity	The request was formatted correctly but cannot be processed in its current form. Often used when the specified parameters fail validation errors. WebDAV - RFC 4918
:locked	The requested resource was found but has been locked and will not be returned. WebDAV - RFC 4918
:failed_dependency	The request failed due to a failure of a previous request. WebDAV - RFC 4918
:upgrade_required	The client should repeat the request using an upgraded protocol such as TLS 1.0.

5xx Server Error

Ruby Cheat Sheet Pdf

:internal_server_error	A generic status for an error in the server itself.
:not_implemented	The server cannot respond to the request. This usually implies that the server could possibly support the request in the future — otherwise a 4xx status may be more appropriate.
:bad_gateway	The server is acting as a proxy and did not receive an acceptable response from the upstream server.
:service_unavailable	The server is down and is not accepting requests.
:gateway_timeout	The server is acting as a proxy and did not receive a response from the upstream server.
:http_version_not_supported	The server does not support the HTTP protocol version specified in the request.
:variant_also_negotiates	Transparent content negotiation for the request results in a circular reference.
:insufficient_storage	The user or server does not have sufficient storage quota to fulfill the request. WebDAV - RFC 4918
:loop_detected	The server detected an infinite loop in the request. WebDAV - RFC 5842
:not_extended	Further extensions to the request are necessary for it to be fulfilled.
:network_authentication_required	The client must authenticate with the network before sending requests.
