Conference 2009 File-systems and Storage May 7, 2009 |
Practical experiences with WebDAVBy Armijn Hemel. AbstractWebDAV is an extension of HTTP to offer web-based storage. Originally envisioned as a protocol for distributed authoring and versioning it never got beyond web-based storage. WebDAV is used by companies to offer remote storage to their customers. Examples of WebDAV for storage are Apple's .Mac and the XS4ALL webdisk. WebDAV can be a very effective webbased storage solution, but there are a lot of caveats, because of bugs in clients and intentional sabotage by big software vendors, which limit the use. This talk will focus on how to set up a WebDAV server with Apache on a Unix system, what issues there are with certain clients, what you can do to avoid or circumvent these problems and how this impacts what you can do with your system. BiographyArmijn Hemel is CTO at Loohuis Consulting, a consultancy firm in Utrecht specializing in custom webhosting, web 2.0 solutions, GPL compliance engineering and UPnP security testing. Armijn is serving on the board of NLUUG and part of the core team of gpl- violations.org. One of his hobbies is punching holes in embedded devices using UPnP, which he documents on his site: http://www.upnp-hacks.org. |
