Several hours +were wasted by stumbling over a bug in the library, that requires a +carefully crafted XML document to prevent. Such a pity about things +like DAV (and XMPP) being designed back when people were gung-ho about +XML.. but we're stuck with them now. + +Now I'm able to send and receive files to box.com using the library. Trying to +use an OwnCloud server, though, I get a most strange error message, which +looks to be coming from deep in the HTTPS library stack: "invalid IV length" + +The haskell DAV library didn't have a way to delete files. I've added one +and sent off a patch. + +Roughed in a skeleton of a webdav special remote. Doesn't do anything yet. +Will soon. + +Factored out a Creds module from parts of the S3 special remote and XMPP +support, that all has to do with credentials storage. Using this for webdav +creds storage too. + +Will also need to factor out the code that's currently in the directory +special remote, for chunking of files. + +---- + +PS: WebDAV, for all its monstrously complicated feature set, lacks one obvious +feature: The ability to check how much free space is available to store +files. Eyeroll. |
