I'm wondering what is the status of any DAV server projects people are working on for AOLServer. I'm aware of the mod_dav port that Musea is working on, and I've seen mention here of an nsdav from the AOL folks based on Dossy's work, but as far as I can tell Musea's work is restricted to a filesystem back end provider and I've been unable to find any released code for Dossy/Nathan's nsdav.
As a result of this, I've been playing with some ideas for implementing a DAV server myself, and have got to the point where I need to know if it's better to carry on on my own or try and find an existing project that wants some help in getting to a final product.
What I have so far is a simple read-only server implemented in TCL (using tDOM for all XML related stuff). It is specifically designed to allow multiple back end providers to be used. The only back end I currently have implemented attaches to the filesystem, although I have previously had an additional provider that served the contents of a zipfile as a DAV filesystem. It's minimal, but works for browsing the filesystem and viewing files with both cadaver and the MacOS X DAV client.
The whole thing is so far only ~200 lines of TCL, and although it's pretty quick and nasty I believe my approach is worth pursuing if nothing else is being actively developed.
So - what's happening in the world of DAV? Who is working on it, what approach are you using, and would it be worth pooling resources to get something completed?
cheers
