I'm using libwww from a C++ wrapper, that in other contexts handle the interface to Netscape from a plugin, or IE from an ActiveX control. I'm also parsing XML using a SAX style C++ API wrapped over expat. If I'm to implement WebDAV, I have to implement it using this framework, and what I implement won't be usable outside of my own application. >> So, I'm asking it again: >> Are anyone working on WebDAV <http://www.webdav.org> support in >> libwww right now? > Is there something unfavorable about using the Neon[1] libraries ??? Lack of documentation, and the warning on <http://www.webdav.org/neon/> that the API is not yet stable and subject to change. ...and the fact that libwww already works for me...:-) > Are you proposing that someone should write a client version similar > to the "FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (FTP) CLIENT" in HTFTP.c[2] ??? I'm not sure. Since WebDAV is HTTP 1.1++, I thought maybe the best way to go, would be to augment the HTTP protocol support...? Of course I risk that anything done in this way would clash with my use of expat... hm... maybe I can't use WebDAV implemented inside of libwww at all...? > Are you asking for help in writing such a module[3] ??? Unfortunately not.
