[Zope] webdav q

2000-08-02 Thread Alex Rice

Hi, I was experimenting with Goliath, http://webdav.org/goliath/. It's
a nice webdav client for MacOS. It has more or less the look and feel
of the MacOS finder.

Goliath has locking support, but disables that feature when talking to
a Zope server. Also I was fiddling with Zope versions, but the webdav
client seems to slip content underneath the versioning interface in
Zope.

I was wondering if it would be possible to make Zope version map into
the webdav concept of locking, or does Zope have a concept of locking?

You have hit on exactly the reason why we didn't implement 
DAV level 2 locking yet :^) It would have been relatively 
simple to do so, but it would have been in a way that only 
DAV clients would respect locks. In an environment where 
people may be changing content via HTTP, FTP, DAV, xml-rpc, 
in versions, etc., it seemed like it would be better to 
think harder about the 'locking problem' and what would make 
the most sense given all the things going on. Unfortunately 
we haven't been able to get back to thinking about that yet. 

I'd love to see someone take up the mantle for this on 
dev.zope.org though :^)
