[ZendTo] Per-user library

[Achim J. Latz]

Hello list:

I just successfully installed the Webdav/library funcionality together 
with an backend for apache2 authentication against an IMAP server [1]: 
all very neat!

Then I realised that the library is shared by all users!

Since attachments potentially contain personal information, I believe 
that a per-user library would be very helpful, located in 
/var/zendto/library/$REMOTE_USER

There is some useful discussion on similar requirements for a per-user 
DAV configuration of Apache here [4,5].

Once the user is logged in via the web interface, s/he would only be 
able to select files that are in her personal 
/var/zendto/library/$REMOTE_USER folder.

I will have a look at this now.

Best regards, Achim


[1] Happy to share the details if anybody is interested; I tried 
mod_auth_imap [2] which was very very slow (one IMAP connection per http 
request), and then changed to
checkpasswd-imap [3]
