I would like to propose we remove all 'tamino-only' tests

Agreed and Peter from Software AG has shown before he

agrees to this

as well.

Cool. Peter, Juergen, Martin, what do you think?

Of course. The testsuite needs a little bit of hands-on in order to get
freed from some Tamino-specific stuff. Unfortunately, we hadn't has a chance
do do it yet. Volunteers, go ahead!

Cool, thanks.

There is something that bugs me: Slide creates a session

in order to

work around WebFolders bugs in authentication. (grep for
getSession())
I would love to have a property to disable this behavior

as I think

it's *very bad* that Slide is non REST-full as a whole

just to work

around a silly bug in IE.
[note Slide is currently creating a new session everytime

the client

doesn't have one set: this could be a potential

performance killer in

environments where cookies are disabled and sessions are
transparently cluster replicated, since each request

generates a new

session!]

I understand this is a bad thing, but am not deep enough into the
WebDAV layer...

Anybody else wants to comment this before I provide a patch?

Hm ... I'd love to see your patch.

Of course. I couldn't possibly commit it myself even if I wanted to ;-) but even if I had commit access, such a critical issues should be discussed.

Does somebody know, whether the bug is in
IE6 too?

I don't know. I'm a mac user ;-)
