Back-end DeveloperContributions:14 commits in 6 months
Contributions summary:Christoph primarily contributed to the jsDAV project by implementing and modifying server-side logic and event handling. They added `afterDelete`, `afterWriteContent`, `afterMove`, and `afterCopy` events to the handler, improving the extensibility of the WebDAV server. The user also fixed plugin instance handling within the server and implemented a multi-instance test for the filewatch plugin demonstrating the server's event-driven architecture. Furthermore, they made significant changes to the request handling to correctly parse XML and handle different request types.
