Using a file upload form to add content to slide
I know it is possible to browser nodes in a web with slide. I'm curious to
know if it is possible to add a file to a slide store using an HTML form
with a file upload? Is it as simple as setting the form's method to PUT or
is the process much more involved? Any help on this matter is greatly
appreciated as I have no idea as to where to start.

Hi Ryan,
FWIW, I found this in the mail archives:

Hope this helps.

If you don't want to copy the behaviour of the PutMethod you
could do the following:
Upload the normal POST way. Then from within the servlet which
handles the POST open a WebDAV connection to Slide. Just
instanciate a WebdavResource and do a putMethod(). Doing this
you don't need to re-invent the wheel of putting files into
Slide. What you need are the user credentials: user name is easy
to get, password can be read out of Slide using the Slide API.
It becomes a little bit more tricky if you want to enable
locking.
I'd recommend to use the WebDAV-client API to write into Slide
and the Slide API to read from Slide.
In my thesis I used this mixed approach to implement the web-
based (i.e. HTTP) interface for the WebDAV repository.
