Django API

[frafra]

This is a tentative to reimplement flutter_server_backbone using Django. I do not want to replace flutter_server, just the API.

I am using mitmproxy to analyse the responses and the requests (I created a brief API documentation with that), as well as Caddy to use Django when the endpoint is implemented, and fallback to Flutter for endpoints that have not been implemented.

Done:

• [x] Basic authentication (trivial)

Work in progress:

• [ ] Upload of notes (works, but there is no _id handling)

To-do:

• [ ] Upload of images
• [ ] Upload of tracks
• [ ] Download of notes
• [ ] Download of images
• [ ] Download of tracks
• [ ] User creation
• [ ] User details
• [ ] User deletion
• [ ] Set bookmarks
• [ ] List projects
• [ ] Differentiate between web users and surveyors
• [ ] /dbinfo
• [ ] /login
• [ ] Custom tiles (is it really needed? Mapforge is the only one on that)
• [ ] ...other endpoints

Support for spatial databases will come later, as well as automatic detection of which form has been used, which would save a lot of data storage and simplify data management.
