It is. And the documentation is not nearly as good as it may look like at first glance. How do I know? Because I actually tried to make it work with darcs precisely so it could get pipelining and support for HTTP caching (with ETags). It's been some years since then. If I wanted to give it another try I would probably look at neon, which (at a quick glance) doesn't quite seem to support pipelining either, but which seems to be actively maintained and have documentation that can actually be understood. http://www.webdav.org/neon/ Neon is GPL and is used as the basis for HTTP support in gnome-vfs and Nautilus, the file manager in Gnome. It supports WebDAV, TLS, cookies, connection keep-alive, and transfer compression. I think it only needs its arms twisted a little bit to also support pipelining. -Peter _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
