Hi Devs,

xwiki-webdav-plugin was developed to provide means to calculate webdav urls of xwiki documents and attachments. But as it turns out, for a given document or an attachment, calculating webdav url is simply a string manipulation operation. It doesn't require any support from the webdav component (and thus the webdav plugin). So, I'm thinking we should remove the webdav plugin completely.

WDYT ?

+1 to remove the plugin if it's really useless

Thanks.

I don't like the "string manipulation" approach. In the future we should have pluggable URLFactories, so that you should just call something like: $services.urlFactory.getFactory('webdav').getAttachmentLink($attachment) +1 for removing the plugin, I never liked it anyway. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
