Re: Thoughts on PasswordSafe format version 4

As mentioned in the v4 draft doc, the number one feature I want to see as
part of v4 and perhaps even added to v3, is an official protocol defined
for remote access to Password Safe files. My goal here is to ensure that
users can use any local client they want with any trusted or semi-trusted
server.
I've broken this out from the v4 discussion as I think we could create such
a protocol definition that offers limited support for v3 as well as
advanced v4 support. As I mentioned in my v4 comment, there are a lot of
options that range from simple to complex, depending on what requirements
the community wants to define. My thinking is that if we were to move
forward with such a protocol design, that we could have a two level
protocol. The first level being a simple WebDAV based solution where the
server is acting as a dumb file transfer server with limited locking
capabilities. The second level would be optional and would allow things
like per-entry locking and perhaps allow the server access to the decrypted
safe(s).
Is there any interest in such a system? If there is, would anyone be
willing to work with me in implementing it for v3 and/or v4? I can commit
to helping design and implement both levels of a moderately complex
protocol on the server side; I'd mainly like help with the client side as
my C++ skills are fairly weak, especially on Windows.
