Mozilla Weave on FM DAV!

purzel · 26 Jun 2008, 10:13 PM

The upcoming Mozilla Weave service allows you to use any DAV server you choose to store your encrypted account on. Good use for FMs DAV offering.

Nice feature and I look forward to benefiting from it.

Anybody manages to make this work with FM?

Is intertesting. Of course, the Perl Net:

AV::Server module would be nice too - right when I finish making it work properly

(I basically rewrote it for FastMail, pretty much from scratch - then offered to factor out some of the fixes as patches for upstream. He responded by handing the project over to me completely, but I've so far only done a little bit of porting our patches back to the general module)

Back to Weave with FM... downloading the plugin now!

Yeah, it works with FM DAV.

You will need to create some folders yourself. I used a base directory of:

https://dav.messagingengine.com/bron...fm/files/weave

Under that I created:

user/
user/brong@fastmail.fm/
user/brong@fastmail.fm/meta/
user/brong@fastmail.fm/private/
user/brong@fastmail.fm/public/

Then I used my username and password and said I already had an account.

Actually, I did significantly more mucking around, because I didn't create those folders first. It doesn't seem to create stuff for itself, relying on it already being there...

Looking good so far, I've synced some bookmarks between two machines

Hi Bron,

I always got invalid user name/password error message. You use your email address as the Weave user name, right?

Code:

That "409" error means that an intermediate resource didn't exist. I.e. you need to create the folder structure I mentioned above. Yes, I use my email address, and yes, you need an @ in the folder name.

brong · 14 Aug 2008, 02:54 PM

And yes you need at least dav.messagingengine.com/username.domain/files/ in the server path, preferably a subdirectory so you don't forget what the "user" directory refers to. That part appears to be hard-coded in the javascript of the weave code (I've been reading their DAV client implementation in javascript. It's pretty nice)

ady · 14 Aug 2008, 02:56 PM

My mistake

There's a type in the server location. I'm logged in and sync-ing now.

Thanks, Bron.

Sync done and very fast too (as compared to using Mozilla's DAV)

Hi there.
It seems that Mozilla Weave breaks support for WebDav starting from version 0.2.9.
Also this post seems to confirm the buzz.
Has anyone tried the new Weave version?
I'm afraid to step into the new release, because I don't want to mess up my profile.
Have a good day.

I read that, too. Now you need to run a weave server

. Maybe if Weave really gets a big hit once final, FM can run such a server?

This makes no sense to me

: if I had a private server I would never bug Mozilla nor Fastmail for LDAP requests, WebDav sync requests and so on!
I'm definitely missing something.
Anyway, MozillaWeave&WebDav is gone: any ideas about another sync structure in Fastmail Files Space? And, of course, tools to manage it...
Have a good day.
