Vinay's Tech Stuff

This is a work-in-progress. This is not complete, may be never will be. It is purely for my own reference. Use at your own risk. Here I try to remember how to configure Apache and Windows XP so that WebDAV on Apache is accessible from Windows XP clients.

Work Items: Optimizations. For Speed and Size. Security: Suexec modifications. Directory Layout changes. --with-layout.

Some of the references online that helped me get started on the output filter are listed below. For the actual work of finding the url tags, extracting the url and appending the required query param, I'm using a Lex scanner. (no parser required). Flex Resources: GNUwin32 package of flex . (Oh! btw, I started off on windows. 'cuz we need it both on Windows nd Linux and I know it will surely work in Linux as I've used flex/bison in Linux before.) http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/flex.htm lex & yacc, Second Edition http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lex/ Apache Reference Online: http://wendtstud1.hpi.uni-potsdam.de This is the website.
