Hi,

I would like to help with the WebDAV client API. I have sent yet one
extension and a patch to the list. But I got no reaction.
We are using the client API in our WebDAV enabled client application.
For this I have integrated a new ACL report method into the client.
What do you think about the following proposal: I think when the
client would be seperated from the server components the client would
be easier to use. I do not mean a seperate project. But a separate
build file. The build for the server is very complex and has much
dependencies. The build for the client API could be much more easier.
What about a small sub-project? Are there no other users (like me) who
use only the client part of slide?
A second point could be to make the return values of several method
more equal. Sometimes strings are returned. Sometimes special objects.
I had to look into the source to know what is returned.
I would be glad if I could help in the client API. The client was very
usefull for us.
Regards
Martin
