Re: [Duplicity-talk] How to contribute a new backend

[Ken Bass]

No comments at all on my message (below) of a week ago?

I see all this talk about box.net which from what I can tell re-branded 
themselves to box.com and now focus on business customers only. Any 
box.net stuff appears to be strictly grandfathered accounts, not to 
mentioned their non-standard webdav implementation. Giganews Usenet 
service recently provided a new Webdav dump truck service and that 
doesn't work with duplicity either. box.com was not reliable with 
webdavs and they told me they do not support it. All those issues 
precipitated the reason I went down the route of creating a new backend 
for a different service.
