Hello Martin, We are planning (and doing so) to implement JSR 147, parallel to the current Slide WebDAV client API. At least for mid-terms I would like to suggest integrate JSR 147 into the Slide client applications (e.g. command line client, etc). For now the Slide client API is the (only and best) basis. Certainly a more easy build would be helpful. Would you be interested to do so?
Best regards Juergen P.S. I will have a look at your ACL report method end of next week. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Dulisch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 13.

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.
