FCPv2 TestDDARequest

TestDDARequest must be sent before any operation involving DDA is requested. If you don't, the node will reply with ProtocolError code 25. The node will respond with a TestDDAReply message.

You can send more than one TestDDARequest message for different directories if necessary : the node handles them per socket, meaning that if you close/reopen the socket you have to re-do it. Each TestDDARequest message will be obsoleted if a new one is received for the same directory.

Example

 TestDDARequest
 Directory=/tmp/
 WantReadDirectory=true
 WantWriteDirectory=true
 EndMessage
