hi enis
Does anybody know whether http forwarding is allowed in webdav. For a
distributed webdav application, i would like to run several webdav
servers, and a master server. It would be particularly easy to load
balance the requests by forwarding the client requests to slave webdav
servers.
do you mean if it's in general possible or are you asking about
the webdav-server present in jackrabbit?
since webdav is only an extension to http i don't see a
reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
there is one thing you have to make sure: a couple of webdav responses
include DAV:href properties. you have to make sure, that those are
consistent with the original request.
in the jackrabbit-server this would mean you have to make sure, that
the DavResourceLocatorFactory, DavResource.getHref(),
DavResource.getLocator() work properly.
hope this answers your question
