Hi All,
I have being quite busy lately trying to improve WebDAV support for Zope3.
To this end I have two proposals worth your consideration. I don't yet have
access to the proposals area of zope.org but I have put them up in my home
folder on zope.org for the time being. They are:
WebDAV Interfaces, Widgets and Adapters
http://www.zope.org/Members/mkerrin/WebDAVInterfacesWidgetsAndAdapters
This defines changes that I see has crucial but which introduce nasty
backwards compatibility problems. So it would be handy to know who has
developed any custom extension to zope.app.dav be it a custom adapter to
zope.app.dav.interfaces.IDAVSchema or who have developed a custom WebDAV
namespace (these are the two likely areas for problems). I am hoping that this
figure is small :-)
WebDAV? Namespace Management
http://www.zope.org/Members/mkerrin/WebDAVProposal/wikipage_view
Here I define how, and why, I am planning to manage a WebDAV namespace.
This includes how to find which properties are defined on a object, and what
widget to use to display the property, and how to extend an already
registered WebDAV namespace.
My goal for all this has being to develop zope.app.dav to a point where it
can handle all of the WebDAV protocol details according to the RFC2518
specification, while only requiring a minimal knowledge of WebDAV from
developers who just wish to integrate WebDAV protocol into there application.
Also I have being doing a lot of reading of specifications and by using
these changes I hope to begin development of other WebDAV protocols once I
have finished with the core WebDAV support.
Hope you like it, and any improvements / comments will be most appreciated.
Michael
