Re: [Exist-development] webdav over NetDrive not work with eXist

Dannes Wessels asked:

did the copy between two db instances work well for 1.4.0?


No.  Overall, the pre-Milton version had more problems.

To answer the other question, yes, this is one instance to another.  The
standard UNIX cp command works fine, drag and drop in Finder does not.

Using 1.4.1 (build 13733) on CentOS 5 from an OS/X 10.6.6 client I've just
tried:


   1. Drag and drop a 12KB XML file in Finder to the Desktop
   2.  $ cp /Volumes/db/uni/persons/d/darvish-yu.xml ~/Desktop/
   3. Drag and drop the same file from the Desktop to /db of the eXist DB


The result of the drag and drop in Finder from eXist to the Desktop fails,
creating an empty document.

The result of the cp command succeeds, with the full XML contents there.

The result of the drag and drop from the Desktop to eXist succeeds, with the
full XML contents copied there.

It sounds like a Finder issue to me.  One part of the copy process doesn't
work correctly (the download) with drag and drop.  I figure that other
clients have a similar issue.  I have no problem using the command line as a
work around, so it's really not that big of a problem for me.  I'm just
throwing out my observations in the hope that they can be helpful for
solving the problems that others are having.

Hope this helps.
