hi to all, it is possible to set a creation/modification date and
creation user to a remote file using sardine?
thank you

To my knowledge WebDAV does not support this.

yes, it does

Please reference the RFC. WebDAV does support querying the DAV:getlastmodified element but setting this property is not possible.

Trunk version of sardine supports custom properties, i suppose you could trick sardine using this:

                // 2 setup some custom properties, with custom namespaces
                Map<QName, String> newProps = new HashMap<QName, String>();
                newProps.put(new QName("DAV:", "lastModified", "ns1"), someRFCcompliantDate);
                sardine.patch(url, newProps);

[Alessandro Scaramuzza]

it works! thank you very very much

Against which WebDAV server implementation have you tested this? The last time I tried against mod_dav these properties in the default namespace were ignored.
