Interesting PHP Solution to WebDAV for Cloud Files
I was reading the news feeds this morning and ran across this post about using WebDAV to bridge to Cloud Files - specifically for Skitch. I've always wanted HostMonster to support WebDAV so that I could point Skitch to my server there and not have to worry about Skitch going under. But they have repeatedly said that WebDAV poses security risks that they aren't yet willing to deal with. Gotta appreciate that, no doubt, and while I have WebDAV hosted at home, it's not the same because I'm never sure if Comcast is going to drop the ball at any moment and that link would be inaccessible.
While Cloud Files aren't exactly what I'm looking for, it does offer me an option if I wanted to go that way. After checking out at least one place, it's an interesting idea - Amazon S3, or Mosso... interesting.
I have to say that when I get a chance, I may look into this. It's something I've thought about for a long time - a place to store everything in the house off site. If I decide to go that way, then this is a really attractive alternative for hosting Skitch images.
