WebDAV

[2] The WebDAV protocol provides a framework for users to create, change and move documents on a server.

The most important features include the maintenance of properties about an author or modification date, namespace management, collections, and overwrite protection.

It takes advantage of existing technologies such as Transport Layer Security, digest access authentication or XML to satisfy those requirements.

modern operating systems provide built-in client-side support for WebDAV[citation needed].

Other extensions left unfinished at that time, such as the BIND method, have been finished by their individual authors, independent of the formal working group.

The added verbs include: The properties of WebDAV protocol are name–value pair, in which a "name" is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and the "values" are expressed through XML elements.

[10] The WebDAV Search specification attempts to pick up where the working group left off, and was published as RFC 5323 in November 2008.
