Hi Jean-Yves,

There is indeed an existing plan to improve support for WebDAV in Restlet
1.2. It would be great if you could participate and contribute some
features. See this RFE:

"Support WebDAV COPY and MOVE methods"
http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=346

Rob Heittman, who is also behind GoGoEgo, created this RFE and proposed some
enhancements. He might be interested in helping you out. 

There are two path regarding Restlet and WebDAV that we could explore IMO:

1) Enhance the current Directory class to support COPY and MOVE and maybe
other 'simple' features by default.

2) Add a new "com.restlet.ext.webdav" extension that would provide more
complete and compliant Client and Server WebDAV connectors.

What do you think?

Best regards,
Jerome

Objet : Re: Standard status-line in Status

I am playing to development of an lightweight (and very partial) 
implementation of WebDAV protocol.

(By the way, about this, I wonder how would it make more sense to 
develop it, so that I can give it to the RESTlet community)

In short, in the specifications WebDAV, to describe the content of 
"collections", I need for each resource, to indicate its status:
http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc2518.html#ELEMENT_status

Is there an issue (in your bugtracker) (targetting for RESTlet 1.2 ?) 
covering the implementation of WebDAV and with advices on how to 
implement it? If yes, I will be happy to work on it!

Can we try to be inspired with GoGoEGO's code ? Or is it better to start 
a totaly new one ?
