Hi,

I am Oliver-Rainer Wittmann. I am working on OpenOffice.org and now
Apache OpenOffice since July 2002 as an employee of Sun, then of
Oracle and now of IBM.

I am currently integrating serf as HTTP/WebDAV client into Apache
OpenOffice. The integration became necessary due to license issues
with the former used HTTP/WebDAV client library.

Be prepared from some questions regarding this integration in the next
days ;-)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards, Oliver.

Hey, Oliver!

I see you've subscribed to the list. Great. Welcome!

Please feel free to ping the list with any questions that you may
have. I would also recommend looking extensively at libsvn_ra_serf in
the Subversion repository:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/

The simple little test/serf_get.c will demonstrate some of the basics
of using serf. (yes, we have very bad documentation :-( )

Cheers,
-g

Hi,

thanks for the welcome.

Thank you also for the hints to the SVN implementation using serf and to the
test code.
I am already using these information resources for the integration of serf into
Apache Open Office (AOO). You will see that my code in AOO - which is excepted
to be available in the next days in AOO's repository - is much inspired by these
resources.
I also adapted (in my local environment) the test/serf_get.c code for testing
purposes in order to find out more about serf.

BTW, are there any public available HTTP servers which support WebDAV which I
can use for testing the integration of serf into AOO?
I have locally such a server running, but it is only one instance of such a
service. But I would like to test my implementation against 'real life' services.


Thanks again and best regards, Oliver.

I used to leave test.webdav.org up and running, but turned that off
ages ago. Regardless, it was just Apache HTTPd / mod_dav, which you
can set up yourself.

Another option is any Mac OS box. Its file sharing is WebDAV.

Third would be an IIS server with DAV enabled on it. Sharepoint speaks
WebDAV, too.

I'm not sure if services like DropBox also speak DAV. Google something up...

Cheers,
