• Webdav authentication, authorization and locking (en)

  We just released the 2008.2 release of the eZ Components yesterday. This stable release received 6 months of care by the core developers and many contributors. Thanks to all of you for the great work!My tasks for 2008.2 were dedicated to the Webdav component. This package allows you to easily integrate WebDAV access features into your applications. For the new release I implemented support for authentication and authorization, which allows easy integration into your existing environment. In addition, I added lock support, so the Webdav component now complies to WebDAV class 2 (and almost 3).

• 7 things - the virus (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:17:08 +0100

  When I returned from vacation it looked to me like Planet-PHP blogs were all infected by some strange virus. Everyone seems to be keen on providing 7 things that many people don't know about him. Since I got "tagged" 2 times now (Kore and Sebastian), I'll jump on the bandwagon and also share some secrets with you.

  With a wonderful picture of a X-mas ElePHPant I'd like to say thank you for the great year, wish you all merry X-mas and a great start into 2009.

• Status update and IPC (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:33:55 +0100

  So, finally I'm blogging again. I was quite busy with learning for my university exams in the past weeks, which turned out to be a good idea and was honored with best marks for both of them: "Logic based commonsense reasoning" and "Knowledge discovery in databases" (aka datamining). But that part would fit more into a private blog.

  To make it short: FrOSCon 2008 was as expected - fantastic. :)

• Beware, FrOSCon ahead! (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:33:55 +0100

  One of the most amazing German OS events is right in front of the door. Since the organizers of the FrOSCon expect a massive ammount of visitors, they ask everyone kindly to register on their website. If you did not do so, yet, take your heels and do so!

  While writing tests for the eZ Components Webdav component I stumbled over an issue with Konqueror 3.5.9. While we have working tests for the PUT request (uploading files) for version 3.5.7, this request type did not work with my recent Konqueror installation. Some debugging and request dumping in Lighttpd later I was quite sure that Konqueror was the issue.

• Sending HEAD requests with ext/curl (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  ext/curl is the common tool of choice, if one needs to perform more advanced HTTP requests from a PHP script (for simple ones, use a stream!). I recently wanted to perform a HEAD request to a file, after which I wanted to perform some more advanced HTTP interaction, so CURL was also the tool of choice here.

• Hierarchical caching (en)

  One of the cool new features in the new 2008.1 release of the eZ Components library is hierarchical caching.

  I'll be giving a session on the technical aspects of eZ Components in about 20 minutes at the annual eZ Conference here in Skien, Norway. Here are my slides of this presentation for download. It also includes code examples for many new features in our most recent release 2008.1 (hot, just fron Tuesday). I'll write some more about that later.
