Michael Osipov created WAGON-583:
------------------------------------
Summary: WebDavWagon does not adhere to RFC 4918 as well as the
tests
Key: WAGON-583
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-583
Project: Maven Wagon
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wagon-webdav
Affects Versions: 3.3.4
Reporter: Michael Osipov
While working on release 3.4.0 I have noticed several issues (non-exhaustive)
with the {{WebDavWagon}}:
* On a {{PUT}} request 409 is ignored when parent collections do not exist.
* Redirects on {{MKCOL}} are competely ignored because not the relocation is
not passed to {{mkdirs()}}, but the original path.
* Status code management from {{MKCOL}} are incomplete.
* Most tests treat WebDAV like HTTP which is wrong. {{MKCOL}} requests are
answered with 404.
They are likely many other issues I did not discover or already forgot. A
serious amount of time needs to be invested to make this Wagon decently
compatible with real world servers and along with real world tests.
Therefore, I propose following options:
* Bring this on par with the regular {{HttpWagon}}
* Deprecate in 3.x and remove in 4.0.0
* Mark it especially as unmaintained (abandoned) from 3.x
