Geert pointed me to a way nifty HTTP sniffer in Java:
> http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#AppendixUsingTheAxisTCPMonitorTcpmon
It works like a charm. My app listens on port 8000,
so I was able to add Axis 1.3's lib/axis.jar to my
CLASSPATH and then execute
java org.apache.axis.utils.tcpmon 7000 localhost 8000
and bingo!! all is revealed. And I was able to verify that Rife
does indeed get the WebDAV methods. But only after I realized
that I first had to disable Rife authentication. d'oh...
Which raises an issue and another question:
The WebDAV-enabled editor is not going to grok Rife authentication.
So let's say I configure Tomcat to use standard HTTP authentication
to protect that URL space. Then I have to keep Tomcat's user file
tomcat-users.xml in sync with Rife (unless I come up with a miracu-
lous hack).
Also, then, when the WebDAV user is authenticated, and the request
is passed to my Rife app, I wonder how I can access the Tomcat
authentication data.
I know this is a quite complex subject. I have the book "Professional
Apache Tomcat 5" (Wrox) and I've scanned the Tomcat docs and it's
quite a tangle.
