madan> I am writing a Java servlet which listens to WEBDAV reqests and madan> responds to them. Using web folders as my client. I am able to madan> create and delete folders. The problem comes when i drag and madan> drop a file from my local disk into the web folder. My sniffer madan> says that web folders makes a head and put and head. Now the madan> PUT has content length of 0. HAve i done something wrong madan> here. So how to I copy the file to the server when web folders madan> does not send me the file data. What response should i give for madan> this PUT with 0 content length? My advice is to make a zero-length file and declare success. After all, it's completely legal. Web Folders is trying to make sure it can create the file before it sends the content. You didn't say, but usually the sequence you mentioned is quickly followed by another PUT with the real content. Someone locally suggested that Web Folders does it this seemingly zany way to emulate the way MSWindows implementations deal with local file systems. It doesn't cost much with local file systems to do it that way. -- bill@carpenter.ORG (WJCarpenter) PGP 0x91865119 38 95 1B 69 C9 C6 3D 25 73 46 32 04 69 D6 ED F3
