that was my reasoning. also, WebDAV is the only fs-like protocol i know that
goes well beyond classic fs model, with properties, sophisticated locking and
versioning.
i got the basic DAV server running on Xavante, but i stumbled when trying to
define a simple but expressive API for modules. ideally, it would be easy to
create a new backends for file, locks, properties and versions. for example,
the typical properties backend would use a database (BDB, or SQL, whatever),
but another one could read EXIM fields on a picture file, hopefully the
administrator could select more than one backend, to add properties easily.
that's where i got dazzled, and reverted to the "simpler" problem of creating
yet another way to program websites....
