Content Transfer is never easy

It seems that content transfer will never be an easy task. There is just some much going on. Still, the new DFS setPostTransferAction does seem promising. After several hours of work it looks like we have some rudimentary content transfer occurring. Currently not ideal, but with some extra time it would be.

Integrating GTOP with the DFS framework is where most of my effort is being directed. Currently I can retrieve a DataObject (with Content as per the ContentProfile) in my Google Server Side Implementation, however getting this content object across to the client is proving difficult. The GTOP client does not 'understand' the DFS classes which makes things difficult. I have decided to not use UCF, but rather use the URL as standard HTTP transfer mode. This decision was made due to time constraints.
