[jira] [Commented] (OAK-5501) Oak Standalone: Webdav configuration is set to remoting mode by default

["Chetan Mehrotra (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5501?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15900834#comment-15900834 ] 

Chetan Mehrotra commented on OAK-5501:
--------------------------------------

bq. I would expect that most WebDAV users would like to access the binary content (jcr:content/jcr:data) of a repo rather than seeing the node hierarchy, and therefore Oak's default WebDAV mode should also be the one for standard WebDAV clients.

[~mathiasconradt] This was happening because some required configuration was not getting loaded properly due to OAK-5500. This is now fixed and when I connect to server on Linux via dav://admin@localhost:8080/repository/default I can see files being rendered as expected

> The *Oak Standalone WebDAV configuration* is set to *remoting mode* by default, but I would expect it to be in the same mode as the *Jackrabbit2 (= mode for standard WebDAV clients)*:
> When I connect to a Jackrabbit2 repo via WebDAV, I see the files as binary content and can access the binary content, i.e. open a pdf directly from there. 
> When connecting to an Oak repo via WebDAV though, the content nodes (i.e. when I post/upload a pdf or jpg via WebDAV) are represented as folders, the binary content is not directly accessible via WebDAV client. 
> I would expect that most WebDAV users would like to access the binary content (jcr:content/jcr:data) of a repo rather than seeing the node hierarchy, and therefore *Oak's default WebDAV mode should also be the one for standard WebDAV clients*.
> Screenshots taken from the standalone-jars of each, after I started them each via {{java -jar /path/to/standalone.jar}}: https://snag.gy/NQEqaP.jpg
