(confirmed) WebdavServlet: PROPPATCH doesnt work

[P . van Kemenade]

Hi

confirmed:

	the WebdavServlet's PROPPATCH  method in tomcat 4  5 doesnt work
actually, it just isnt implemented.

the fact is not in the docs (afaik), on the contrary, several pages
in the jakarta site claim tomcat 4  supports webdav level 2, which 
is not true.

it is not in the bugtracker; but it may be considered
not a bug, it's just not implemented.
the tomcat 5 source code simply reads

/**
 * PROPPATCH Method.
 */
protected void doProppatch(HttpServletRequest req,
   HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
if (readOnly) {
resp.sendError(WebdavStatus.SC_FORBIDDEN);
return;
}
if (isLocked(req)) {
resp.sendError(WebdavStatus.SC_LOCKED);
return;
}
resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED);

}

Internet search engines that take money from Web sites in exchange for 
prominent placement should make that practice clearer to Web users, 
federal regulators said Friday.Many search engine Web sites, including 
AltaVista, LookSmart and AOL Search, give preferred placement to paid 
advertisers. The Federal Trade Commission said that prime space can 
confuse Web users who are looking for the best response to their 
search, rather than ads for sites that paid up front.

WebdavServlet: PROPPATCH doesnt work

[Pike]

Hi

I'm sorry to keep nagging about this, but  I need to make a decision 
(soon)
and it's not in any docs or in the bugtracker (i think it should be).

can someone confirm that the WebdavServlet's
PROPPATCH  method in tomcat 4  5 doesnt work ?
if so, can someone tell me why - if it's not that hard, I could
implement it myself in a webdavservlet extension class.
our company is going to host it's media and xmldb
publicly through webdav.  I would like to use 'plain'
Tomcat instead of Slide or Tamino so we can skip the
overhead of these solutions and easily write our custom
solutions, which we usually do.
thanks,
*-pike
