Description

The ESourceWebdav extension tracks settings for accessing resources on a remote WebDAV server.

This class exists in libedataserver because we have several WebDAV-based backends. Each of these backends is free to use this class directly or subclass it with additional settings. Subclasses should override the extension name.

The SoupURI is parsed into components and distributed across several other built-in extensions such as ESourceAuthentication and ESourceSecurity.

Access the extension as follows:

1
2
3
4
5
#include <libedataserver/libedataserver.h>

ESourceWebdav *extension;

extension = e_source_get_extension (source, E_SOURCE_EXTENSION_WEBDAV_BACKEND);

Details

struct ESourceWebdav

struct ESourceWebdav;

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

Since 3.6


E_SOURCE_EXTENSION_WEBDAV_BACKEND

#define E_SOURCE_EXTENSION_WEBDAV_BACKEND "WebDAV Backend"

Pass this extension name to e_source_get_extension() to access ESourceWebdav. This is also used as a group name in key files.

Since 3.6


e_source_webdav_get_avoid_ifmatch ()

gboolean            e_source_webdav_get_avoid_ifmatch   (ESourceWebdav *extension);

This setting works around a bug in older Apache mod_dav versions.

Note

We may deprecate this once Apache 2.2.8 or newer becomes sufficiently ubiquitous, or we figure out a way to detect and work around the bug automatically.

Returns :

whether the WebDAV server is known to exhibit the bug

The value encodes three parameters, divided by a pipe '|', the first is users preference, can be one of "reject", "accept", "temporary-reject" and "temporary-accept". The second is a host name for which the trust was set. Finally the last is a SHA1 hash of the certificate.

extension :

an ESourceWebdav

Returns :

a newly-allocated SoupURI. [transfer full]

Returns :

What to do with SSL connection, where E_TRUST_PROMPT_RESPONSE_UNKNOWN means 'ask a user, with populated parameters'. Note: The E_TRUST_PROMPT_RESPONSE_REJECT is returned on any errors, like the message not being with the SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED status code, no certificate being stored in the message and so on.
