Re: svn commit: r1879306 - in /httpd/httpd/trunk: CHANGES include/ap_mmn.h modules/dav/main/mod_dav.c modules/dav/main/mod_dav.h
Hey Graham ... what's the goal with exposing these things? (this rev, and
prior) ... I don't see any emails describing "why". Generally, it would be
"shrug" ... but you're changing the MMN, and I don't see any discussion on
why/goal.

Thanks,

Picking up the CalDAV work again.

Since mod_dav was written there have been a host of RFCs that use the REPORT method, but mod_dav is written in such a way that only a versioning implementation is allowed to use REPORT.

This has led to some offensive workarounds (an input filter to try and undo the read of a report after finding the report wasn’t for that module, yuck yuck yuck).

Two works-in-progress:

https://github.com/minfrin/mod_dav_calendar - RFC4791 Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV
https://github.com/minfrin/mod_dav_access - RFC3744 WebDav Access Control Protocol

CalDAV mandates strong ETags as per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791#section-5.3.4, and Apple Calendar breaks decisively without it.

Graham
