MS-WDV and other MS extensions

Post #1 of 7 (271 views)

Hello

I am ready to commit MS-WDV support for mod_dav. There are many other
MS extensions, and I just wonder if we should prepare to configure MS
extensions one by one or as a whole

I mean, what directive makes more sense in httpd.conf?
DAVMSext on (and if we add new MS extensions, this enables all of them)
DAVMSWDV on (and if we implement MS-FOO, we will add DAVMSFOO directive)
DAVMSext WDV (if we implemnt MS-FOO, it could become DAVMSext WDV FOO)

We can also use the first cas, and turn it into the third case later,
with "on" being a shortcut for all implemented MS extensions.

Thoughts?

I like the third case with an all/on option. If it will need to be
per-directory, maybe an Options like syntax would make sense?

+1 to an Options like syntax. This would allow you to add a subset of extensions in one go or all with the 'all' keyword plus you
could add / substract from parent list.

Do you suggests adding values to Options, or to create a DAVoptions
directive?

I think DAVMSextis fine, but with an Options like syntax.

Following the Options syntax the below should be the same with only one extension available.

DAVMSext WDV
DAVMSext All
