Hi,
Andre, Armin and myself are currently working on the integration of
library serf (incl. libraries apr and apr-util) as a replacement for
removed library neon - see issue 118569
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118569).
The main integration work is done. You can expect the first version of
the integration to be commited this week.
The following tasks are not yet completed:
- implementation of the support for WebDAV methods LOCK and UNLOCK.
the former implementation supported WebDAV locking via API only and it
was not used in the office. The integration and usage was planned for a
future improvement and that hasn't really changed.

- SSL certificate validation is not in the same status as it was, when
neon was used due to a different handling inside library serf. Please
see the corresponding discussion thread on the serf development mailing
list -
http://groups.google.com/group/serf-dev/browse_thread/thread/4302acb283c990dd
- certain improvement work regarding error handling in order to provide
corresponding feedback to the user. In the current integration code the
error messages for the user will not contain valuable information about
the reason for an error - e.g. when a certain host can not be reached or
a certain resource is not existing.
Before I will commit the code, we will do some further (developer)
testing on the major platforms (MacOS X, Linux and Windows).
Best regards, Oliver.
