Hi All,I've recently started using mod_dav_acl[1] and mod_caldav[2] for calendaring purposes. These modules works very well, however, mod_dav_acl currently requires a patch to be applied to the apache core code in order to expose some hooks from the DAV subsystem, as per the README from mod_dav_acl:
-requires patches to Apache, mostly to mod_dav module, patch(es) included.Patch contains strong ETag handling, usec timestamps to ETags (libapr-patch),
conditional PUTs (fixed after 2.2.8) and some hooks to allow integration of ACL handlings. Apply the patch to Apache sources and compile it before using this module.I believe the first part of that is no longer the case as the patch I'm using now (attached) only touches httpd-2.2.8/modules/dav/fs/repos.c and httpd-2.2.8/modules/dav/main/mod_dav.c.
The changes to repos is somewhat unclear for me but still seems to affect ETag handling (I can probably live without this), the changes to mod_dav.c seems to be there mostly to add the hooks and extra functionality that mod_dav_acl requires, but for some reason cannot be external to mod_dav.c (don't ask me why, I won't pretend to understand half of the code bases in question)
I'm not sure if the approach being taken by the author of mod_dav_acl is correct in terms of the patch being applied to httpd, if there is a better way to approach the problem, or if there is a better place for discussion please advise, I'd be happy to file bugs against either httpd or mod_dav_acl, and quite possibly write some code, to get to the point where I don't need to custom-patch either side to make this work, and that they can both live in harmony and happy ever after.
I'm attaching the suggested patch, I hope this is in order. The patch does apply cleanly to httpd-2.2.21, which I believe is currently the newest "stable" version.
Kind Regards, Jaco [1] http://moddavacl.sourceforge.net/ [2] http://modcaldav.sourceforge.net/
