Hello Thomas, 1 concerning the virtual root, if users do not have to use this feature, I do not think this is a problem. I suppose the reference document for quotas is this one : http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4331.txt Does this document say that the available bytes on a collection should be equal to the sum of the available bytes of each nested collection ?
2 about how to setup the quota metadata, what would be the permissible ways to setup protected properties ? I glanced into another RFC concerning ordered collections. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3648.html This RFC introduces a special method ORDERPATCH to change the order of a sorted collection. The rfc4331 does not define special patch methods for quota available bytes and quota used bytes. How does your Web service work ? I suppose it is communicating directly with the Slide store, bypassing the WebDAV API ? And how does your DAV client work ? It might be interesting to forward this discussion to the authors of the quota RFC to see what they think.
