[Trinitydvf-developer] Apache WebDAV module

[Paul S. <pau...@us...>]

I had a bit of a look at webdav.org and come away more confident that we
should make use of WebDAV for our repository.  =


It looks like the stuff that is currently "almost" standardised includes:=


- basic file manipulation (create, delete, copy, move)
- file locking
- collections (aka directories)(create, delete, list)
- properties - (eg. author, creation date, last modified date/by, etc)

There are several extensions that seem to be close to standardisation:

- version control
- access control
- ordered collections
- searching

They talk about the apache module which was created by them (as of versio=
n 2,
Apache now includes it in it's own installation and cvs tree).  They clai=
m
that it completely implements all the things in the first list, and that =
they
plan to support everything in the second...

So it looks good so far...

Paul
