Writing some code to get the Finder selection, which I imagine has been done many many times before. Samples from several places, but the only place I've found a complete one is here. The source to the C++ wrappers used in that example are downloadable, after some searching. Other useful places include Tech Note TN 2022.

Freefall 00601 February 1, 2002 – Today's Freefall made my laugh out loud. I love Mark Stanley's sense of humor.

Hm. It appears Frontier's XML verbs do support namespaces. So why
were they barfing on a Multi-Status example from the WebDAV RFC?

Oh, it should be obvious, but just in case… I don't have time for working on ICeCoffEE tonight either, and the bug I found in F-Script Anywhere (don't close that window!) will have to wait.

OK, getting there. I went to look at my fileWriter source, and I cmd-J'd to user.html.fileWriters. Nothing there. Oops. Turned out I installed in system.verbs.builtins.html.fileWriters. That's UserLand's table. Nobody pointed this out to me. Will fix in the next version.

Showstopper: My WebDAV code doesn't support DELETE, and unlike the fileWriters, deleting files is a needed ability of upstream drivers. Recursive deletion of collections means 207 status (Multi-Status) responses, which means XML, and namespaces, which Frontier's XML verbs do not support.

No more time for this tonight.
