Hi All,
I have been using Cadaver as a webdav client for quite a while now. In every
projects so far I had to deal with a Hippo Repository. Cadaver proofed to be
very useful. There has been only one limitation which is that the namespace of
a property cannot be retrieved. You can set it, but obtaining the namespace of
(existing) properties can not be accomplished.
My work around was to sniff the tcp traffic between the repo and the client to
find out the namespaces that do cross the line when you issue a propget from
Cadaver. This became a bit frustrating so I ended up posting on the Cadaver
mailing list for a fix.
I recieved a patch from Henrik Holst of witsbits that will show the namespace
when you issue a propget. This patch is attached for anyone interested.
He also wrote that the Cadaver propnames command returned all the properties
(including namespace) and not just the properties with the DAV: namespace.
According to RFC 2518 "HTTP Extensions for Distributing Authoring -- WEBDAV"
this should indeed be the case (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2518.txt). See
section 8.1.3 of the RFC for an example. However when I issue a propnames from
Cadaver I only receive the properties with the namespace DAV: whereas there are
also properties with the hippo namespace. This could lead to the conclusion
that the server end does not return a specification compliant response.
When this is confirmed as being a bug I'll create a Jira issue for it (unless
someone else has beaten me to it ;))
I'm using version 1.2.15 of the repository btw.
Regards,
Æde
