Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] What are the requirements for a 1.0 release?

[Mike T. <mt...@ya...>]

Regarding security, it shouldn't be much of an issue that ftp isn't encrypted because the file will be transmitted from the user using http (https could be used by those who have a cert). FTP will only come into play on the backend, and generally that would be to localhost.
I can have ftp and direct file operations as a config option - Chad?
Re webdav, I won't have time to take that on. FTP is simple to code because it's built into php. Webdav will require quite a bit more logic (although I would guess that there's a library out there somewheres).

The current source is working beautifully on my server, after tweaking 
the permissions a little bit on the calendars directory. If FTP support 
is to be added, it should be done as an option, not to replace the 
current system. Also, if it's not too much trouble, factoring out the 
actual upload code should allow for FTP or WebDAV uploads.

I think that WebDAV is important, not only because Apple is moving 
towards it, but because it supports operation over HTTPS. Anyone trying 
to run a secure server (e.g., someone who's disallowed 'unlink' in 
php.ini) should *not* be using a plaintext FTP server. Since there's no 
real standard for sFTP (ssh, ssl-tunneled ftp, etc), WebDAV is really 
the best protocol to standardise on, imho.

Thanks, Mike!
