Description
The handling of the content exposed via webdav is highly dependent on the working of the software that in the end uses such as file exposed content.
In general there are 3 scenarios of file handling:
- rename original file to backup, and store updated content under the original name, but in new file (done e.g. by vi)
- delete original file and create new file in which the update content is stored (Windows edit)
- replace content of the file without actually deleting the file (done e.g. by eclipse, cssedit and most of the high-end editors)
The first two scenarios result in loss of meta data. To avoid it, the deleted content would need to stored is some temp storage for while before actual deletion so the meta data can be restored in case the content with same name is recreated via webdav after it has been deleted.
