[Xsltforms-support] Question about saving forms data directly into subversion

[Dan M. <dan...@gm...>]

Hello,

In the past (four years ago!) I used Subversion to store forms data by doing
HTTP PUTs directly into data collections.  This can be done by configuring
Apache to allow PUT and POST operations.

I documented this process here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XForms/Versioning_Form_Data_With_WebDAV_and_Subversion

The trick was to configure Subversion as a WebDAV server and to turn *
SVNautoversioning* on so that each "Save" from a form would automatically do
a commit.

SVNAutoversioning on

Ih the past we did this in an Intranet so security was not a concern.

My question is has anyone figured out how to do this with XSLTForms on a
public server that is running SSL?  Our forms may be on different computers
then the SVN server.

Is there any way to also send login credentials (login/password) in the HTTP
header using this approach?

Thanks! - Dan

xf:header sub-element for xf:submission is not yet supported by 
XSLTForms but it shouldn't be very difficult to add this.

When would you like to experiment this ?

Thanks!

The sooner the better.

Currently i'm using the 'SOAPAction' as a workaround to pass any
out-of-band infos to backend servers.
A working xf:header element would be really usefull for me.

Thanks in Advance,
