All,
I've been looking at the WebDav Servlet for the last few days and in
particular how it interacts with Microsoft clients.
Basic operations including:
- directory listings
- create new file
- create new directory
- rename
- update contents (ie open a file for editing and then saving it)
all work for port 80 and port 8080 when WebDAV is mounted at "/" or a
specific context.
Drag/drop and copy/paste do not work. This appears to be related to
Tomcat not implementing PROPPATCH. There is some guess work involved
since I don't have access to the Microsoft code but I think the client
is setting timestamps with PROPPATCH and then checking them. Because the
PROPPATCH fails the overall operation is failed.
I don't think that the WebdavFixFilter is required any more.
I'd like to propose the following:
- deprecate WebdavFixFilter in all current versions and then remove it
in Tomcat 11
- add the above information on what works and what doesn't to the
WebdavServlet Javadoc - maybe along with a note to ping the dev list
if drag/drop and copy/paste are required (or maybe a BZ issue)
- come back to this if there is user interest in getting drag/drop and
copy/paste working
Thoughts?
Mark
