Re: Is it possible to add custom properties in WebDAV, on the server side?

[Ajay Garg <ajaygargnsit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.

I figured out that I will have to make changes in the file "modules/dav/fs/repos.c" in httpd's code, to add custom properties.
I did manage to tweak around a bit, and things went fine.
So far so good :)

Now, what I really intend is to read a file (on the server side), and transmit the contents of the file as a (custom) webdav property to the clients.
As a part of this, I intend to "fopen" a file, read the contents, and then "fclose" the file.

But when I do a "fopen", followed by a "fclose", the server crashes, with the following "error_log" ::

I have specifically not put in more details, as random googling seemed to indicate that there might be some configuration that needs to be tweaked, to enable "fopen" on "httpd".

Is that so? :|

I will be really grateful for a reply, as it's been close to two days, since this is bugging me.


Looking forward to a reply.

Hi all.

I have a Fedora 14 machine.

I have been able to setup a WebDAV share, in httpd's context, at the server side.
Also, I am able to (successfully) access the WebDAV share, through gnome-nautilus, on the client side.

I am wondering, if there is a way to add custom properties on the server side, which could then be retrieved by "PROPFIND" ?
Currently, I get the following properties via PROPFIND per resource ::
