CMIS repository plug-in

This is a CMIS repository plug-in for Moodle. Description

It allows you to browse, search, download and use public files from a server, tipically a CMS, exposing its content by means of CMIS 1.0.
It supports the HTTP Proxy configuration of Moodle.

It also gets benefits from the MUC framework to implement two levels of cache, at the folder level:

1. CMIS identifiers;
2. children and search result sets.
   Cache can be purged by perfoming a search with the special keyword: *purgecache*.

TODO

• Implement FILE_REFERENCE support and re-evaluate the need for FILE_EXTERNAL.
• Restrict cache purging to administrators only.
• Make search configurable: 'none', 'within the folder', 'down the directory tree'.
• Verify/Implement the correct support for Microsoft Sharepoint 2013 via CMIS.
• Evaluate OAuth support, nice feature for FILE_EXTERNAL.
• Code cleanup.

Known issues

• It supports only RESTful AtomPub endpoints (Atom Publishing Protocol).
• It supports only CMIS 1.0 compliant repositories.
• Tested with:
  • Alfresco Community Edition v4.2.0 (4576)
  • Nuxeo Platform v5.6
