Re: [Logicaldoc-devel] [WebDAV]State

[Alessandro G. <a.g...@lo...>]

Hello Sebastian,

what I mean is that the WebDAV in my opinion is in place,
but I would like to implement a mechanism of auto-versioning for clients 
without versioning support.

In practice, most clients support the function of the lock / unlock, we 
could implement the auto versioning using this mode:

LOCK = set the status of the document to CHECKOUT
GET = download document
PUT = if the user has acquired the lock on the document will create a 
new version,
           otherwise create a duplicate of the document.
          (set the status of the document to CHECKIN)
      
It should not be very difficult, I could look this by myself,
while if you want you may start as you had talked to Marco the 
development of authentication from external systems (LDAP, Active Directory)

The mechanism is fully WebDAV-compliant and is called "auto-version". This means, that if we have a resource under version-controll as well as is being checked-out, putting a new version of the file into the same space caues an automatically checkin and increment of the version number. But i guess, you mean not this point of view.
