Hi, I found that the ownCloud Desktop client (built from git) refuses to sync a directory which has more than 2000 files. The reason I found for this is because the time_diff_delta is always greater than 5 seconds (actually, always coming in at 7 seconds).
Not knowing exactly what this time_diff_delta is supposed to measure ( differences between server time and local time, or total time required by the server to respond), I ask here in order to figure out a solution. Basically, if the goal is just to find out the time difference between the server and local time, then this will always fail in cases when it takes the server a while to process the request (such as having too many files). A sort of fix is to measure the delta by comparing the server time to a time right before sending the request (a difference I found to always be negligible) as opposed to after the request returns. Unfortunately, I think this might produce misleading results in the case where the delay was not caused by a busy server, but by latency in the network. Perhaps a combination of the two might be required. But I'm thinking, would it instead be possible to have the server (and by that I mean SabreDAV) respond with the total time it took the server to process the request? Then, in principle, this could take care of both server delay and network latency issues. Any thoughts?
