Hi Ludovic, 2008/7/13 Ludovic Dubost <[email protected]>:
I've tested the current version of the webdav prototype with the changes from today (r313).
I've been able to navigate the webdav directories with DAVExplorer, Mac Folders, Windows XP Web Folders. I was able to view content with all of these webdav clients. Windows XP opened everything in Internet Explorer (wiki.txt and images).
With DavExplorer I was able to get wiki.txt on my mac desktop, modify it and publish it again.
With Mac Folders I was able to directly open wiki.txt in my desktop application. But I was not able to save it back (I get a first message saying it has been modified on the server to which I say "ok save anyway" and then I get an error. I did a drag and drop of a modified wiki.txt which gave no error but did not modify the document.
With Windows XP I was not able to open wiki.txt from notepad. I got an error when choosing the wiki.txt file. I was not able to drag and drop a modified wiki.txt either.
Compatibility is going to be the number 1 problem !
How should we tackle this issue ? I kind of am puzzled why it works like that and how to go about fixing it. I have following things on my list, 1. Refactor the code (modularise). 2. Implement Locking / Versionning operations. 3. Document the code (currently it's bit poor) 4. Test and make sure it works on all platforms. How should i proceed ? what should be given priority ? Since now i'm familiar with code base and WebDAV protocol itself, i think i can pick up the phase a little, but i strongly believe it is better to set some deadlines (milestones) so that i too can measure my work. Thanks. - Asiri
