	WebDAV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WebDAV started life when Jim Whitehead convinced the W3C to host two meetings where people interested in the problem of distributed authoring on the World Wide Web could get together to discuss possible solutions.
		As work began on the protocol it became clear that handling both distributed authoring and versioning was just too much and that the tasks would have to be separated.
		The WebDAV working group is still working on a number of extensions to WebDAV including - bindings, and on progressing the base specification to the next maturity level in the Internet Standards track.

	RFC 2518 (rfc2518) - HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring -- WEBDAV
		For example, if the resource with URL http://foo.com/bar/blah is not WebDAV compliant and the URL http://foo.com/bar/ identifies a collection then URL http://foo.com/bar/blah may or may not be an internal member of the collection with URL http://foo.com/bar/.
		On WebDAV compliant servers the URI of the source resource(s) may be stored in a link on the output resource with type DAV:source (see section 13.10 for a description of the source link property).
		WebDAV clients can be good citizens by using a lock / retrieve / write /unlock sequence of operations (at least by default) whenever they interact with a WebDAV server that supports locking.

	WebDAV
		WebDAV is an ambitious effort to create a standard for collaborative authoring that includes locks and authentication.
		The stated goal of the WebDAV working group was (from the charter) to "define the HTTP extensions necessary to enable distributed web authoring tools to be broadly interoperable, while supporting user needs", and in this respect DAV is completing the original vision of the Web as a writeable, collaborative medium [13].
		Whether WebDAV will have an obsoleting impact on the currently dominating technologies like FTP and CVS (like it had on gopher, for example) or if it's just another case of reinventing the wheel remains to be seen.

		WebDAV (or simply DAV) is an interesting technology that reached proposed-standard status as RFC 2518 in Feb 1999.
		Microsoft Office 2000 is a WebDAV client, and there is also an extension to the Windows filebrowser that allows you to see WebDAV folders.
		WebDAV will be a powerful standard for collaborative work on the web once access control and versioning is in place.

	WebDAV Barracuda plugin
		WebDAV is a set of extensions to the HTTP(S) protocol that allows a server to appear as a standard network drive.
		WebDAV clients are native to Windows XP, Mac OS X, etc., and one can, therefore, simply mount a drive from one of these operating systems to one or several remote embedded devices.
		WebDAV eliminates the typical problems encountered in a mixed UNIX/Windows environment where a Windows machine cannot mount a NFS drive and vice versa.

		Standards Track [Page 14] RFC 2518 WEBDAV February 1999 However, there are times when the goal of a lock is not to exclude others from exercising an access right but rather to provide a mechanism for principals to indicate that they intend to exercise their access rights.
		Standards Track [Page 24] RFC 2518 WEBDAV February 1999 In the case of allprop and propname, if a principal does not have the right to know whether a particular property exists then the property should be silently excluded from the response.
		Standards Track [Page 41] RFC 2518 WEBDAV February 1999 8.9 MOVE Method The MOVE operation on a non-collection resource is the logical equivalent of a copy (COPY), followed by consistency maintenance processing, followed by a delete of the source, where all three actions are performed atomically.

	Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-007
		WebDAV is not supported in Windows NT 4.0 and therefore could not be used as an attack vector, and both Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP do not install IIS by default.
		WebDAV is an industry standard extension to the HTTP specification.
		Although WebDAV is supported in IIS 5.1 if it is installed by a user, the underlying Windows XP version of ntdll.dll is not susceptible to the WebDAV attack vector, so the ability for an attacker to exploit the vulnerability is not present.

	WebDAV Project
		Currently, the WebDAV specification allows a lock to be placed on a resource that does not exist to allow for resources to be reserved before their creation.
		The WebDAV property model uses a name-value pair where the property name is a valid Extensible Markup Language (XML) element and the property value is empty or a valid XML element [1, 8, 9].
		When a WebDAV client requests that a resource be locked using the LOCK method, the Lock Manager creates a unique lock token that is then passed back to the user as the Lock-Token header.

		WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, also called DAV) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1 (HyperText Transfer Protocol, the protocol spoken by Web browsers and servers) allowing you to edit documents on a remote Web server.
		WebDAV is an open standard, published by the IETF (the Internet Engineering Task Force) (RFC 2518).
		WebDAV is baked right into the Windows (Web Folders) and Mac OS X operating systems as folders, that for all intents and purposes appear to be on your local machine, but are actually network connections to a remote server.

		WebDAV, defined in RFC 2518, is a set of extensions to the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that provide a standard for editing and file management between computers on the Internet.
		WebDAV uses IIS to pass requests to and from Windows 2000.
		Because WebDAV requests travel over the same port as HTTP (normally port 80), this in essence means that any user who could establish a connection with an affected server could attempt to exploit the vulnerability.

		WebDAV ("Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning") is a computer-to-computer communications protocol that allows site administrators and site content editors to access and edit files on a remote Web server without first needing to download them to their local computer.
		In other words, WebDAV allows your computer to access a remote Web server as though it were actually part of your local computer.
		WebDAV is replacing both WebSpinner and FTP as the primary method of access for all OIT Web Hosting sites.

		WebDAV is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.
		The WebDAV server you use must support exclusive write locks, which guarantee that only the lock owner (the person who opened the file for editing) can overwrite the file.

	WebDAV \| Musings
		I’ve recently started using WebDAV to share files with a colleague at another University, for a joint project.
		So far I use webdav for managing/synching Bookmarks (OmniWeb) and iCal (not willing to shell out $100 for a.Mac account, for a feature that ought to be free), and I do not much care whether this is secure or not.
		Using stunnel to forward a local port to https:// on the server is a possibility, but proxying DAV is tough (you need to patch the server since DAV by default uses absolute URLs for COPYs and MOVEs).
