From a practical point of view, what is the status of the WebDAV work? Specifically: 1. Are major vendors, either of web servers or of distributed authoring/asset management products, participating? Is there any indication that the proposed HTTP extensions will in fact be adopted? 2. Are the basic HTTP 1.1 methods (PUT/DELETE) any better supported than PUT was in HTTP 1.0? There were a whole lot of FTP workarounds written due to the fact that PUT was never reliably implemented. 3. Has anyone thought about tunneling the WebDAV protocol on top of HTTP without extensions? This would allow real-world tools to be implemented without waiting for basic infrastructure changes?
