[Building Sakai] Milton Webdav

[Stephen Marquard]

The two areas in which Sakai's dav implementation fall short of full protocol compliance are (a) properties and (b) locking. It passes everything in the litmus test until that point. As the implementation to support those would have to be Sakai-specific, it would be roughly equivalent work adding it to current dav code or Milton.

The listed litmus test results for Milton - http://milton.ettrema.com/compat/litmus.zip - are actually worse than Sakai's, although the linking page does say they are out of date.

Apart from protocol compliance, the other difference may be in how the code handles client foibles across a range of clients, which is harder to evaluate.

So on first impressions, it doesn't seem clear that it would be an immediate win in value for effort.

Regards
Stephen

Have you thought of using [1] to replace the Sakai 2 webdav impl ?
I think its probably trivial to write the adapter and it has solid client compatibility.
