Version 7 of TclHttpd as WebDAV-Server

I just announced a running version of WebDAV-support for TclHttpd. (Stefan Vogel 28. July 2004)

For further infos, downloads and instructions have a look at http://www.vogel-nest.de (follow the link to WebDAV).

This page is provided for further discussion.

At the moment this software is pre-alpha-status. I did it as a fun-project. But when I have a look at it (especially how fast things develop ... at least when you have climbed the start-learning-curve) I see a lot of opportunities here.

E.g. TclHttpd is often used as an embedded webserver in applications (because it is very small). So you can now easily provide WebDAV-support as well. With this you can also integrate your application easily in Konqueror (using "webdav:"-protocol-support) or Windows-Explorer/Internet-Explorer (with "Web folders").

BUT ... many features are still missing:

Currently only DAV 1 support (no LOCKing)
depth-header is silently ignored
No Versioning, ...
not tested with threading
what about Authorization?
handling of prefix-urls is not quite sufficient (for each module you have to define a "root"-folder)
...

What are you missing?
