I've just started looking into using the Slide WebDav Client API, trying it
out, etc. It's nice - really intuitive.
However, I can't get the Copy or the Move methods to work on their own. The
problem seems to revolve around the setting of the Destination header.
According to the spec I was reading, the Destination header should be an
Absolute URI. Sadly, if I try to set the destination (i.e.
CopyMethod.setDestination(..) ) to an absolute uri, the URLEncoder
(org.apache.util.URLUtil.URLEncode(..) ) mangles it -- actually, it's only
the colon (":") that gets mangled.
Now, you probably don't want to include...
safeCharacters.set(':');
... in that static part at the top of org.apache.util.URLUtil because,
although that would fix this particular problem, it would break the
URLEncoder. So, I would suggest changing the setDestination method (in
org.apache.webdav.lib.methods.CopyMethod & MoveMethod):
from:
public void setDestination(String destination)
to:
public void setDestination(String protocol, String host, int port, String
destination)
... or have both, but if the first one is used, then the sessionHost and
sessionPort are automatically appended.
My apologies if someone is already working on this.
Cheers.
