HeisencatFS serves a webdav server that hosts a single file, the_cat_box.txt, which - when opened - randomly tell you either "the cat is alive" or "the cat is dead." The state of the cat changes each time you open it.

The site is hosted at localhost:8086, and can be mounted as a filesystem on windows and linux. When mounted, the filesystem looks like:

/
.----the_cat_box.txt

and cating the_cat_box.txt will give you a state.

python heisencatFS.py

Used as a demo to explore davfs on windows and linux as a virtual fileystem alternative to 9p et al.
