A while back, Jeremy mentioned in another post <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/cO8lYpmAMWE/bKc6mPRZBgAJ> that TiddlyWiki supports saving via WebDav. I didn't know this existed until he mentioned it. I do like the idea. Most web server software has support for WebDav, or there are webdav add-ons. It means I don't need to run PHP (or node.js) on the server, which significantly reduces the resources needed on the server. So, I've been experimenting with WebDav.
I've found that it works very well once the web server is set-up properly. *Using Lighttpd*, it works without issues. Http Basic Auth (or digest auth) works without issues. I haven't tried, but I don't think there would be issues using client certificate authentication if one wanted that level of security on the network link. *Using Apache*, it also works with basic or digest auth. One interesting difference, Apache seams to track the last time you loaded the file (get request) and compares that to the last file modification time-stamp. *If the last modification is newer than when you loaded the tiddlywiki file, you get an error and the change doesn't get saved*. You can (easily) get around this by reloading the file (browser reload/reread button) after you save the tiddlywiki file. It might be a bit annoying but it does solve the issue of conflicting edits if two people are working on it at the same time. On the down side, the 2nd person will have to re-load the file and re-do all their work (of course browser tabs help with that). I don't use nginx, so I haven't tried that one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
