It seems as if TclSOAP has a proposed version of the http package which supports persistent connection (see above). What else is needed for HTTP 1.1 (and things like the webdav extensions to HTTP 1.1)? Is there a simple overview document which describes in a simple way what the differences really are?
Phil Dietz and Eric Boudaillier have opened a SourceForge project for this with the project name of tclhttp1-1 [2]Any useful code from the other http1.1 enhanced packages should get merged into this one [PT]tclvfs comes with some minor mods to tclsoap's http package to support webdav -- would be good to merge that stuff.[PT] writes: I already did this for the tclsoap version and I've applied this to the tclhttp1-1 version but I need to commit this (as of 27Jan03). The tclvfs changes simply add a '-method' option to enable HTTP requests other than GET, HEAD and POST. For instance
set tok [http::geturl http://www.google.com/ -method OPTIONS]will get the options header from the server. For WebDAV there are a number of other commands to use.
