+"""Minimal, hardened WebDAV client behind the ebook cloud import.
+
+Only PROPFIND (Depth 1) and GET are implemented — enough to browse a remote
+folder and pull a single file out of it.
+
+Every request here is made by the server to a URL the *user* supplied, which
+makes this an SSRF surface: registration is open (accounts/views.py:23) and
+diora normally runs in a Docker network next to other services. Three things
+guard it, and all three are load-bearing:
+
+  * `assert_safe_url` refuses hosts that resolve to non-public addresses,
+  * `_assert_peer_is_safe` re-checks the address we *actually* connected to,
+    because requests resolves the hostname a second time and a hostile resolver
+    can answer differently across the two lookups (DNS rebinding),
+  * redirects are refused rather than followed, so a public host cannot bounce
+    us onto a private one.
+
+Residual risk worth knowing about: a rebinding attacker can still cause a
+single request to be *sent* to an internal address; the peer check runs before
+the body is read, so nothing comes back to them. Fully closing that needs
+connect-time DNS pinning, which requests does not expose without reaching into
+urllib3.
+
+Response bodies are read through `_read_capped` and parsed only after any DTD
+is refused — the remote server is attacker-chosen, so an unbounded read or a
+billion-laughs document would otherwise be a cheap way to OOM the container.
