Hi,
I'm working on a hobby application & I'd to use WebDAV.
I've read Lisa Dusseault's WebDAV book and this pointed me in the direction of
Neon, which in turn pointed me in the direction of SVN which pointed me to
Serf.
I'd like to be able to use a fully-featured WebDAV client side and possibly
server side library.
Neon was my initial choice, but since my app uses Apache/MIT licensed
libraries, I was concerned that the LGPL license of Neon would rule that out,
but then I noticed that SVN was using an Apache License but was using Neon,
although use of Neon was then depreciated in favour of Serf.
Some questions to you guys:
1) Is there any documentation for a seasoned C/C++ developer on how to use the
Serf library. I can't immediately find any. Is it simply a case of reading the
source code and then looking at the SVN source code to see how it drives Serf?
2) How was SVN able to use the Neon library without running into license
issues?
3) How does Serf stack up against Neon for WebDAV support? e.g. how well does
it interact and adhere to server modules provided by Apache's mod_dav and
Nginx's equivalent?
