All,
I've been looking at the WebDav Servlet for the last few days and in
particular how it interacts with Microsoft clients.
Basic operations including:
- directory listings
- create new file
- create new directory
- rename
- update contents (ie open a file for editing and then saving it)
all work for port 80 and port 8080 when WebDAV is mounted at "/" or a
specific context.
Drag/drop and copy/paste do not work. This appears to be related to
Tomcat not implementing PROPPATCH. There is some guess work involved
since I don't have access to the Microsoft code but I think the client
is setting timestamps with PROPPATCH and then checking them. Because
the PROPPATCH fails the overall operation is failed.
I don't think that the WebdavFixFilter is required any more.
I'd like to propose the following:
- deprecate WebdavFixFilter in all current versions and then remove it
in Tomcat 11
- add the above information on what works and what doesn't to the
WebdavServlet Javadoc - maybe along with a note to ping the dev list
if drag/drop and copy/paste are required (or maybe a BZ issue)
- come back to this if there is user interest in getting drag/drop and
copy/paste working
Thoughts?
You might already know about this, but In the httpd world sometimes the
litmus test suite was mentioned:
http://www.webdav.org/neon/litmus/
I never have build or even used it, but it might be useful to check for
improvements or regressions in the course of bigger changes.
That is actually where the current work started. I re-ran the test suite
after Rémy's locking changes, found a bug as the test suite had been
updated since the last time I ran it, fixed that big and then starting
looking at the Microsoft client behaviour.
There are a large number of failures around property support as expected
since we don't implement PROPPATCH
