Why another Blog about WebDAV?

The WebDAV specification was developed in the mid 90's and several RFCs describe the details about the protocol itself and other needed details like the attributes or security specs. But being available for nearly 10 years now it seems that there is still no perfect solution for a day-to-day usage of WebDAV as the primary protocol to access documents and other files in a corporate environment. Beside its obvious advantages like founding on the well known HTTP protocol and the well know SSL/TLS security channel it seems that the reality is affected by the poor Microsoft implementation in Windows XP and Vista, the poor implementation in several commercial server products and the absence of an offline solution.

The intention of this blog is to collect all available resources to make WebDAV a usable choice for corporations and private users.
