Subject: Re: [9fans] WebDAV file system
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2002 01:29:34 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ccf226e9c208384a410bf7b7edaffce8@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

The hard part about ftpfs is parsing the directory listings
and caching the results so that things like ls work reasonably.

I can't figure out exactly what WebDAV means, but my
first impression is that something like webfs might do
nicely, assuming the set of valid names is reasonable.
The arbitrary structure of the XML properties might get
in the way.

In any case, I think webfs is probably good to read
just to get used to what's going on in a typical file
server.  Of all the ones I've written, I think webfs is
particularly clean.  nntpfs is pretty clean too, and
quite a bit smaller.
