WebDAV extends HTTP, and addresses resources through regular HTTP(s) URIs. The "DAV:" URI scheme was only defined for use as an XML namespace name, which was certainly an extremely bad idea in the first place. RFC 4918, which obsoletes RFC 2518, continues to do so only for backwards compatibility (see <http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc4918.html#rfc.section.21.1>). (That Subversion re-did that mistake with it's (non-registered) "svn:" scheme doesn't help.) BR, Julian
