Webdav: ezcWebdavSimpleBackend

[ Tutorial ] [ Clients ] [ Plugin architecture ] [ Class tree ] [ Element index ] [ ChangeLog ] [ Credits ]

Class: ezcWebdavSimpleBackend

Abstract base class for common backend operations. [source]

Implemented Interfaces

This base backend provides the generic handling of requests and dispatches the required actions to some basic manipulation methods, which you are required to implement, when extending this base class.
This backend does not provide support for extended Webdav features, like compression, or lock handling by the backend, therefore the getFeatures() method is final. If you want to develop a backend which is capable of manual handling those features directly extend from ezcWebdavBackend.

Child Class Description
ezcWebdavFileBackend File system based backend.

Inherited Constants

From ezcWebdavBackend:
ezcWebdavBackend::COMPRESSION_BZIP2    Backend has native support for bzip2 compression.
ezcWebdavBackend::COMPRESSION_GZIP    Backend has native support for gzip compression.
ezcWebdavBackend::CUSTOM_LOCK    Backend performs locking itself - no handling by server is required.
ezcWebdavBackend::MULTIPART    Backend has native support for multipart requests.
ezcWebdavBackend::PARTIAL    Backend has native support for partial requests.
