Yet Another FOAF+SSL ACL Test: ACLs Baton Passing

All,


FOAF+SSL protected resource URL: 
<https://ods-qa.openlinksw.com/home/dav/Public/fao_to_sumo_mappings.txt> .

Step 1.

If you are new to these test (I suspect most on the LOD list), you will 
need to have a WebID in the ACL associated with the URL above. Thus, 
failure to successfully de-reference the URL is success (i.e. you see a 
WebDAV challenge due to your FOAF+SSL authentication challenge failure).


Step 2.

I've given the added the following  FOAF+SSL crew members "write" 
privileges on the ACL resource for 
<https://ods-qa.openlinksw.com/home/dav/Public/fao_to_sumo_mappings.txt> 
(the resource URL is discoverable via Link: response headers):

1. Nathan - <http://webr3.org/nathan#me>
2. Henry - <http://bblfish.net/people/henry/card#me>
3. Melvin - <http://foaf.me/melvincarvalho#me>
4. Mike - <http://mamund.com/foaf.rdf#me>
5. Michael Hausenblas - <http://sw-app.org/mic.xhtml#i> .

Step 3.

Each of the individuals above are in a position to extend the ACL 
membership, courtesy of privileges assigned to their WebIDs, via a 
WebDAV aware client (which includes all major operating systems these 
days). Thus, via WebDAV you can simply edit the N3 representation of the 
ACL resource.

Once we get this process nailed, we will then up the ante with ping 
based notices such that ACL membership changes are propagated via ping 
based notifications to affected individuals (by sniffing their "ping 
service endpoints" which should become part of the structured FOAF based 
profiles associated with their WebIDs).
