DAVKit 0.1, a provisional package to add WebDAV support to Webware. (Provisional, because it's useful for development to have it separate now, but I think at least parts, and maybe the whole thing, should be incorporated directly in Webware eventually).
It's located at: http://www.colorstudy.net/software/webware/DAVKit-0.1.tar.gz This is a *very* early, *very* rough release, only suitable for people who want to help develop it. But I wanted to get it out there so we don't duplicate work, and to get some advice and such (with the XML representation, which right now is just nested lists ala PyRXP, as well as compatibility issues, and just general thoughts). It basically works with cadaver (an ftp-alike webdav client) and nd (another command-line client). It doesn't work with Web Folders, but the computer didn't even query my server, it just said it couldn't contact it (though a browser on the same computer could). I don't know what's going on there. It's biggest flaw right now is that it doesn't give good error messages, especially with compound results (207 Multi-Status). There's no doubt lots of other flaws, but that's the biggest thing I Just Haven't Done Yet. It's fully dynamic. A filesystem-based namespace is included in the examples. The framework tries to abstract out semantics which are defined in the specification (e.g., atomic recursive deletes and other stuff), so writing backends shouldn't be too hard. I also created a replacement for HTTPServlet that uses exceptions for a number of HTTP errors (redirects, not implemented, conflict, etc). WebDAV pays more attention to those errors than do most normal web applications, so it was important (and will be important as I do multi-status as well). Okay, that's all I can think of for the moment. Ian _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
