Hi Erik,
Actually I have been using this feature of OXF against Subversion
(development only) for quite some time now and it does work very well! :-)
I came up with an Apache hack that generates a last-modified header for
Subversion. The advantage of using slide though would be a speed increase
because my apache/subversion hack disables caching. :-( The other thing
that is a bit hacky about this hack is that I need to give OXF special
access to the DAV repository. Ideally the urlresourcemanager would support
basic authenticated servers..
<param-name>oxf.resources.url.username</param-name>
<param-name>oxf.resources.url.password</param-name>
Cheers,
Damon.
=============
1. Generate the current date time in the correct format for last-modified
RewriteEngine on
# Nasty kludge to generate the current datetime in an env variable
called now
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^01$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Jan\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^02$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Feb\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^03$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Mar\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^04$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Apr\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^05$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ May\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^06$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Jun\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^07$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Jul\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^08$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Aug\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^09$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Sep\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^10$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Oct\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^11$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Nov\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} ^12$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1---Mon\,\ %{TIME_DAY}\ Dec\ %{TIME_YEAR}\
%{TIME_HOUR}:%{TIME_MIN}:%{TIME_SEC}\ GMT
RewriteRule ^(.*)---(.*)$ $1 [env=now:$2]
2. Then use the new environment variable where appropriate..
Header add Last-Modified %{now}e
3. And allow anonymous read from OXF
# Reading is allowed from OXF or with a password
<Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Require group svn_readers
SetEnvIf User-Agent ^Java/1.4.* agent-oxf
Allow from env=agent-oxf
Satisfy Any
</Limit>
