1.1       raeburn     1: \label{Authoring_WebDAV}
                      2: If your domain has Apache with SSL running on your library server, 
                      3: (i.e., URLs begin https://) and your Domain Coordinator has enabled webDAV access   
                      4: for users with author or co-author roles, then you will be able to connect to an
                      5: Authoring Space using webDAV.
                      6: 
                      7: A webDAV connection allows you to mount the Authoring Space directory tree as an
                      8: external volume.  You can then use your own laptop/desktop computer's file management
                      9: tools and applications to copy, move, edit and delete files.
                     10: 
                     11: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
                     12: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
                     13: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
                     14: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
                     15: 
                     16: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without a mechanism to
                     17: reverse the deletion), it is important that you are especially careful when working in the
                     18: webDAV environment with this type of content.
                     19: 
                     20: When you display the contents of a directory in Authoring Space using webDAV you may see
                     21: additional files, with extensions .log, .save, .bak etc. for each LON-CAPA .problem  
                     22: file.  You can view the contents of these files but you will not be able to edit or
1.2     ! raeburn    23: delete them.  These files are created by LON-CAPA when using the web GUI.
1.1       raeburn    24: For example, a .log file, which records publication history, is updated whenever you
                     25: use ``Publish'' to copy a file from Authoring Space to Resource Space, and .bak files 
                     26: enable use of the LON-CAPA ``Undo'' button in regular web browser-based editing in 
1.2     ! raeburn    27: Authoring Space.
