Release the webdav client and consider moving it into a jakarta's commons Httpclient
Hi to all developers,
I hava noticed that the WebDAV client library is a very important
piece for many other projects.
But the latest stable version is 2.1, release 2 and a half years ago!
(According to this: http://apache.otenet.gr/dist/jakarta/slide/binaries/)
I would like to ask:
1) Are there any plans for releasing a newer version of slide webdav client?
2) Does anybody agree on me that the WebDAV functionality may belong
to the Apache commons HTTP-Client library?
(I hope) I'm not starting a flame-war, i just wish that this useful
project gets some stable deliverables that others can depend on!
Regards,
Kostis

If anyone is willing to do some work in the client: Is it easily
possible to add form based authentication to allow access to Exchange
servers having this form of authentication?
More info can be found here:

+1!
Also, WebDAV Commandline Client should join that (new-or-existent) project.

>From a user standpoint, moving the slide client to commons does make
sense. As a library user and from an application developer you would
either be:
1) working on a content storage, at which point working with Slide
Server.
2) working on accessing internal or external WebDAV repositories, at
which point only interested in the webdav-client.
2a) This also has a double-benefit when looking at commons-vfs that you
get a 'commons-webdav' library instead of, presently, downloading the
slide source tree to compile a recent webdav client lib with several
bugfixes that are not in an existing binary yet.
Bonus) Since the Apache Jackrabbit project also has a WebDAV client
library, would be a very good opportunity to bring the two different
client libraries together under one 'commons-webdav' (or whatever it
will be called).
As to with commons-httpclient, or as its own commons-library, that is
open for discussion. WebDAV has a dependency on commons-httpclient, but
since WebDAV has its own level of domain knowledge above and beyond
normal HTTP, keeping it on its own does not seem unreasonable (again,
based on the domain knowledge needed).

So technically it is ok to separate them.
Slide is doing better on activity atm and I rather focus on increasing that activity and in the end
move to a Slide TLP, then splitting up Slide to commons, leaving Slide with just the server part and
possibly no future of becoming TLP and therefor no future.
Also I wonder if commons is a place where the slide client has any life expectancy, since people
interested in webdav are hanging around here and not necessarily at commons.
Though choice.

It does make sense also from the technical view. AFAIK client and
server are independent developments.

Does it also make technical sense or are there no shared deps between server and client ?
Willing to drive this (the only things I did in Slide was working on the client). At the earliest I
would do this after or at apachecon, since I am really swamped till the end of the month

Maybe it is a good idea to move the WebDAV client library to Jakarta
Commons. However, there must be an individual driving the process.
