Description

Hey,

as told on IRC, it'd be nice to support (maybe optionally, trough a plugin, an otpion or something like that) the DPAP protocol.

DPAP (Digital Picture Access Protocol) is a photo sharing protocol, similar to DAAP (Digital Audio Access Protocol). The latter is for example used in iTunes and in multiple open client and servers. The former is used by iPhoto and, afaik, not really supported by anything in the free world.

I think both protocols are proprietary, but have been reverse engineered and some libs exist, so it should be possible to implement a client and/or a server without too much hassle.

Some pointers:

Cheers,
