SardineTask

Introduction

It is nice to be able to do webdav from Ant for various reasons. So, provide a wrapper around Sardine that enables this.

Details

Right now, Sardine features such as complicated https configuration and proxies are not supported by this task. If you would like to see this, then I welcome contributions. I'm also only supporting basic auth for the put() tasks right now.

Nothing speaks louder to me than a good example. Basically, you just define the typedef, pass in the location of the sardine.jar, its dependencies and then call the task definitions. Username/password is optional. The exists element will set the named property to "true" on success. Put takes a fileset block and/or a file.

The put() element also takes a contentType attribute.

The sardine element also takes a port number.
