GDS2 gets connected via OwnCloud Clients

The GDS2 gateway for ownCloud is making progress. We can connect the Android version of ownCloud sucessfully to our GDS2 backend. The client works well. OwnCloud uses WebDAV for all its operations. The initialization starts with a http-get request (http:///status.php) which gets filtered by our gateway before the WebDAV module gets connected. The gateway is a stand alone module and should work well with other WebDAV servers.
UPDATE (27.2.13): the iPhone client works also now. The XML parser obviously does not support name spaces. Perhaps one of the ownCloud developers knows why. We are fixing this problem in the gateway.
 The desktop clients connects as well. The content type problem was fixed in the GDS2 gateway. It was not necessary to patch any client.
 Now we will have to do some intensive tests to get ready for our demonstration at CeBIT. Visit us at booth F16 (214) in hall 6.
