My server already had a locking mechanism, so I had no desire to implement WebDAV locking at all. I just wanted a few features to make it easier for users to upload files. But then I got sucked into it because OS X refused to allow writes without locking. I found the locking part of WebDAV to be the most complex and problematic part to implement. At times it made me wish I had taken another approach. Best, John DeSoi, Ph.D.
