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.
- 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).
The first version of the integration of library serf (incl. apr and apr-util) as
a replacement for removed library neon has just been commited - see rev. 1292794
Feel free to check this out and report errors.
As previously mentioned some further integration work will follow - mainly stuff
regarding SSL certification handling and user error messages.
Thanks to Andre and Armin who supported the integration work.
Best regards, Oliver.
