Thanks, Nick. Appreciate the reply. I'll look more into it, but after quickly scanning the mod_dav source code, looks like I have a big learning curve ahead of me to understand where to insert my modifications.
I have cobbled together a simple PHP script that does what I want. Do you know of a way to have Apache redirect processing of http requests to an external script for only files ending in a specific suffix? - Loyal -----Original Message----- From: Nick Kew [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 1:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: some advice re: custom WebDav (mod_dav) On 13 Mar 2009, at 01:50, Loyal wrote: > > To accomplish all this, I thought I'd create a modified version of > mod_dav for Apache and run this non-standard config on a dedicated > box. In principle that makes perfect sense. What you need to do is (mostly) to create a new fs provider for mod_dav, using mod_dbd to provide the backend. In practice that's a lot more complex than it should be: support in mod_dav for alternative providers is patchy. Having BTDT (up to a point), if I were to revisit this task I'd want to update the core mod_dav quite significantly, rather than always try to work around its shortcomings (as I did at the time). -- Nick Kew
