WebDAV support in mod_perl

RE: WebDAV support in mod_perl
Interesting idea. Hadn't though of it. Can't say I'd be able to commit much, more of a lurker. But you have my moral support! One thing though. last time I used the DAV module it was deathly slow. That may have been fixed... Another thought, is if you add in file support, that you could heed User and Group directives when writing files (mod_dav does, and will not). -Original Message- From: Joao Pedro Goncalves [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WebDAV support in mod_perl Hi, is there any current project going on for using the WebDAV protocol in mod_perl, something like Apache::WebDAV?

Re: WebDAV support in mod_perl
Yes, I've contemplated either: 1) implementing the DAV protocols entirely in Perl for mod_perl 2) gluing in XS into mod_dav -- IIRC mod_dav has hooks for non-filesystem respositories; it'd be great just to expose that API to mod_perl (haven't cracked open that code yet though) Issues: what will be required to implement DeltaV (I need concurrent checkouts and versioning) as well? What's up with the expat-lite in Apache conflicting with XML::Parser's expat? Given a clear picture of these options and issues, I'd be more than pleased to bang out a good Apache::WebDAV code base implementation. -Ian Today, Joao Pedro Goncalves [EMAIL PROTECTED] frothed and gesticulated about...: Hi, is there any current project going on for using the WebDAV protocol in mod_perl, something like Apache::WebDAV?

Re: WebDAV support in mod_perl
I am very interested in any developments in this area. I currently am doing dav stuff in Java for macromedia.com and would be interested in porting it to my first love: Perl! please let me know of any developments. I am willing to help, if you need it. cheers, -amen On Wed, 29 Nov 2000, Ian Kallen wrote: Yes, I've contemplated either: 1) implementing the DAV protocols entirely in Perl for mod_perl 2) gluing in XS into mod_dav -- IIRC mod_dav has hooks for non-filesystem respositories; it'd be great just to expose that API to mod_perl (haven't cracked open that code yet though) Issues: what will be required to implement DeltaV (I need concurrent checkouts and versioning) as well?

Depends what you base it on. CVS or subversion or something? Greg Stein was saying that DeltaV isn't finalised anyway, so you'd be writing clients too!

Since Perl can be embedded (i.e. apps can call into it to exec code), then you could implement a mod_dav backend in Perl. That would save you a bunch of time over trying to do all the protocol work. The mod_dav in Apache 2.0 has a better dynamic-load plugin/backend story, but mod_dav 1.0 (which is built for Apache 1.3) still has all the same features/functionality for backends. Issues: what will be required to implement DeltaV (I need concurrent checkouts and versioning) as well? All of this is being developed within the mod_dav as part of Apache 2.0. Through the plugin mechanism, we'll be using Subversion (SVN) (http://subversion.tigris.org/) as the backend. SVN will be using DeltaV as the network protocol, and Apache 2.0 as the network server. There is also some DeltaV work going on in the CVS version of mod_dav, with much of the same backend interfaces and code. I wouldn't call any of the mod_dav DeltaV work "cooked" though. I'm going to be testing the Apache 2.0 this week and next, for Milestone 2 of Subversion which occurs at the end of next week. M2 will be a very limited DeltaV server... but that does include checkout and versioning :-) What's up with the expat-lite in Apache conflicting with XML::Parser's expat? The intent is to find time to upgrade Apache to use Expat 1.95.0 and axe the expat-lite stuff. It should work fine (and part of the Expat 1.95 release was specifically to fix the Apache/mod_perl Expat conflict), but time/priority just hasn't happened yet. It should over the next couple weeks, as we're trying to nail down an Apache 2.0 beta and we want to resolve that problem. Given a clear picture of these options and issues, I'd be more than pleased to bang out a good Apache::WebDAV code base implementation. -Ian Today, Joao Pedro Goncalves [EMAIL PROTECTED] frothed and gesticulated about...: Hi, is there any current project going on for using the WebDAV protocol in mod_perl, something like Apache::WebDAV?

Oracle has built a backend for mod_dav which stores all of the content and properties into an Oracle database. It should be appearing on the Oracle Technical Network "real soon now". So... mod_dav can do it, but yes: it would be C coding rather than Perl :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
