[Oberon] Strange problems with WinAOS and WebDAV (Retry)

[edgar at edgarschwarz.de]

Hi John,
perhaps my post some hours ago didn't work. I didn't get it yet.
I was on holidays (Spending a day at JMLC2003 at Klagenfurt, showing WebDAV),
my wife is in hospital now and in a couple of minutes I will go to the birthday
of a nephew.
So perhaps you will understand that I can only give short answers at the moment.
Sorry, but I don't have time to go into details just now.

You could try to get http://webdav.ethz.ch/davzip/WebDAV.1.2.0.Zip
I will update my homepage soon.
After my holidays I gave it at try with WinAOS Version 1.03.

This is probably the same problem I have. In AosTCP.Mod in Receive I get in a loop
because Available gives 0 all the time.
Here some checking the state of the connection and perhaps leaving after
some timeout should be added.

In the newest bluebottle you will probably find a newer WebHTTP.Mod with
more HTTP status codes. BTW, MultiStatus = 209.

So if you could verify whether your lockup is also this loop in AosTCP.Receive
and perhaps fix it, this would probably also solve my problem with
WebDAV 1.2.0 on WinAos and would allow me to make a release also for WinAos.

This would be nice, because I got a request for my client from the makers
of the Tamino WebDAV server and so they wouldn't need a Bluebottle partition
to try it.

Cheers, Edgar
