This may not be directly applicable to most regulars of this list, but it's
an interesting potential use of WebDAV.

directories.


	Title		: Applying WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and

This memo examines the potential of using WWW Distributed Authoring
and Versioning (WebDAV) technologies to address the problems of
network configuration management.  It reviews requirements and issues
that have been identified in IETF network configuration management
and operator requirements discussions, matching these requirements
and issues with various WebDAV facilities.  It concludes by
identifying areas for further exploration.
Comments are welcomed, both from the Operations and Management Area
in general, and from participants in the webdav and deltav working
groups in particular.  Please send comments to the author at

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
