Right.

Right. But, meanwhile, there are around 130 testcases below
xmltestcases/DASL that test the DASL area. And ... there will be even more,
afaik.

Right. The implementation of DASL in Slide client is not finished ... any
volunteers?

No. That class implements the SEARCH method at server side. The class which
could be used at client side is org/apache/webdav/lib/methods/SearchMethod.

Well, not really. I recommend to write a simple client (maybe in Perl or
Java?) which directly sends the plain requests to the  DASL server. Also,
the TProcessor contained the Slide testsuite is a good choice. As mentioned
before, there are already some 130 testcases for the DASL theme. To get the
testsuite, download the source distribution of Slide and run the "release"
target of the build process. You will obtain an archive
jakarta-slide-webdav-testsuite-2.0.0.ZIP (currently for Windows only). Look
for TProcessor.CMD in the "bin" directory of the testsuite.

Regards,
Peter
