Difference between revision 4 and current revision
No diff available.Seemingly the most natural protocol to write a WikiGateway in would be WebDAV, a protocol specifically designed for modification of collections of web pages.
However, at present WebDav? seems harder to implement than XmlRpc, for example; specifically, I can find no easy way to write a Perl module to handle WebDAV requests.
HTTP:DAVServer is working towards this, but it isn't ready., and I couldn't get it to integrate with Apache.
mod_dav seems hard to extend (not too hard, but not exactly a simple Perl script either).
Until the tools are there (to allow you to easily implement a WebDAV server in Perl), I don't think I have time to add WebDAV functionality to the WikiGateway project.
In addition, another disadvantage of WebDAV might be that it seems to require a small amount of reconfiguration of the webserver, which many users won't be allowed to do. Of course, maybe we should overlook this, as it seems that the web server is the most natural place to put this kind of logic (on the theory that when it becomes necessary for users to have more control over the web server, it will slowly become more feasible for them to do so).
