![]() This is the core CalDAV protocol specification, and provides a standard way to remotely access and manage calendars. The Internet Engineering Task Force has approved "Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV (CalDAV)" as Proposed Standard RFC 4791. ![]() Congratulations to Lisa Dusseault, Julian Reschke, Geoff Clemm, Cullen Jennings, Elias Sinderson and Jim Whitehead for their hard work on this specification! An appendix of RFC 4918 provides a detailed descriptions of changes between it and RFC 2518. Current and new implementations of WebDAV should be updated to be consistent with this new specification. This is a new revision of the core WebDAV protocol specification (RFC 2518), which corrects errors in the original specification and includes improvements based on interoperability experience. JThe Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has approved "HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)" as Proposed Standard RFC 4918. This article on using WebDAV in Plone explains how to configure Plone to use WebDAV, and how to access Plone via the native WebDAV capabilities on multiple operating systems. Plone is an open source content management system with built-in WebDAV support. Instructors can post updates via an RSS feed that can be uploaded using WebDAV. SchoolHouse is personal homework manager for the Mac that allows students to keep track of their classes and due dates for assignments. The conference is November 12-16, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. SeptemApacheCon US 2007 features presentations on the Java Content Repository (JCR), the Jackrabbit project, and Roy Fielding discussing REST. See the RESTORE website and SourceForge project page for more information. Among its many features, it permits secure access to backed-up data via WebDAV. Holonyx has open-sourced their RESTORE backup and recovery software, which works with Windows, Novell, Max OS X, Unix, and Linux. The bizhub C353, bizhub C253, and bizhub C203 (jeesh, who comes up with these names?) all have scan to WebDAV capability. ![]() Konica Minolta released three new print/copy/fax/scan multi-function devices. This makes it ideal for web sites wishing to host photo contests, or otherwise gather cell phone photos. KDev has released the FoxBox MMS, a device that receives pictures taken by a cell phone, and makes them available via HTTP and FTP. NET WebDAV client library, featuring full class 2 (locking) support, as well as Basic, Digest, NTLM and Kerberos authentication. This permits application developers much easier access to data archivally stored in a StorageTek system. StorageSwitch recently announced the release of its StorageSwitch File System Gateway, which provides a CIFS, NFS, FTP and WebDAV interface to Sun's StorageTek 5800 archival data storage system. Omnidrive is an online storage and sharing site that supports WebDAV in its professional level of service (USD $40/year). WebDAV access is implemented using the Slide package of the Apache Software Foundation. The XML editor announced improved WebDAV support in version 9.1. PFolders allows WebDAV access to documents stored in the PHProjekt open source content management system. ![]() Evaluations of alternate implementation approaches are also described. This allows files to be directly edited in a user's AFS file space. The implementation creates a per-user WebDAV server, and uses mod_kerberos for authentication. Joe Presbrey has developed a WebDAV to AFS gateway. This is an important step towards broad adoption of the CalDAV protocol, and a future where users can select the calendaring and scheduling application that best suits their needs, rather than being forced to use the (often clunky) client that works with their organization's calendar server. CalDAV supporting clients, like Apple's iCal can now remotely schedule meetings using the open, interoperable CalDAV protocol. DecemApple's MAC OS X server now includes a CalDAV server.
