Re: [Exist-development] ANN: upgrade of webdav interface in Trunk

[Hungerburg <pc...@my...>]

Hello Dannes,

please excuse, if my silly plea did offend you. I second Stefans 
assessment of the state of eXist webdav support and linux clients. Thank 
you again for your efforts.

May I report from the compatibility hunt a small problem persisting? It 
can also be seen in the windows webfolder client; on davfs2 this makes 
in-place editing very slow, in windows its more academic, I cannot tell 
about apple mac:

A refresh (F5) of the webfolder following a PUT will timeout. The eXist 
logs last line then reads "DEBUG (PropFindHandler.java...". From looking 
at the tcp-stream with wireshark, the server response gets sent in a 
way, that probably both windows and davfs2 clients and also wireshark 
itself cannot decipher or is in itself incomplete. This with current 
trunk clean build.

linux summa summarum
- davfs2 1.4 is OK, except see above.
   options used: use_locks 0, delay_upload 0
- nautilus/gvfs is broken due to its own limitations,
   mounting dav:// instead of http:// prevents the not-found error,
   yet it still seems to be unable to cope without content-length.
- davfs2 1.2 is broken too, that caused a false impression with me.
