All,

Anyone given any consideration to adding XML-RPC or WebDAV to Webware?

One thing I'm doing for a PHP site I want to convert to Webware is writing a
WebDAV layer around the database-generated article pages, which lets remote
authors and editors use a WebDAV client on their local machine and their
favorite editor to author and edit content, which is a real improvement over
suffering with TEXTAREA in Netscape or IE.

Likewise the site uses XML-RPC in a PHP script to do "Mail this page"
functionality (calls, via XML-RPC, a method on my Zope server, which runs an
"external Python method" to do send and log the mail, etc.); having a nice
XML-RPC Kit in Webware would be very handy, both for client and server.

I'm guessing that WebDAV, as an extension of HTTP, would just fit into
WebKit? How about XML-RPC?  Are these both "-Kit" level integration jobs or
what?

There's plenty of good XML-RPC and WebDAV code around in Python. As I'm sure
all of you know, Fred Lundh's XML-RPC is in Py 2.2's stdlib.

So what I'm really asking is how do the Webware gurus imagine both of these
being best integrated into Webware? (And I suppose what goes for XML-RPC
will be similar to what will go for SOAP, once a SOAP lib makes it into
Python std lib, which I expect will happen by 2.3.)

Best,
Kendall Clark

PS--I am not a huge Zope fan, but it has *very* nice XML-RPC support.
Essentially every Zope method can be called via XML-RPC, and you don't have
to write any support code; it just works. Very nice.
