[Building Sakai] alternative to webdav in sakai

[Bryan Holladay]

I've fixed this issue in https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-273, along with other issues with the unzip facility.

The only reason it hasn't been put into trunk is a best code practices issue I wasn't able to figure out.  It's noted in the comments and is waiting for someone with a better understanding of the kernel code to look at it.  

Other than that, it's a good patch and works fine and would be safe to run.

Thanks,
Bryan

The varying behaviors of different clients, the special authentication that doesn't play nice with SSO, and numerous other types of issues.  I'm beginning to think about alternatives that would allow for big bulk uploads that are more reliable.  Thinking about some type of browser plugin, flash or otherwise.  Has anyone else done some research into this already?
