John, After post, I noted that my observations were not all fully correct. I was concerned that my query was too erroneous for response.
Your notes help tremendously, thanks! -----Original Message----- From: John Berthels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 6:54 AM To: Derek Boonstra Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: ClientHTTPFile Sorry for the slow reply.

The tests should skip with an appropriate message if the store you test against doesn't have these features. (edit_file won't work for you unless the back-end also supports DAV MOVE). > 2) > If mogstored doesn't support range puts, would installing the > chunked-put branch of PerlBal enable the feature ? An approach which should work is to run mogstored with an apache DAV server. You can either use the --server=apache option or use --server=none and run against an existing apache DAV setup. (You can get away without running mogstored at all, but you have to play around with usage tracking and fsck performance will be poor). hope this helps, jb
