As I see it, WebDAV is really just another content delivery & input mechanism. It lets content owners and content consumers add, browse, manage and receive documents via the client's usual folder UI (windows explorer, the Mac Finder, X-Windows, etc.) instead of forcing users to employ whatever UI is provided by the CMS itself.
It strikes me as an interesting alternative for simple content management and delivery (especially in this age where so many CMS apps are leaning towards being completely web-driven) whereby users can simply "drag and drop" large numbers of files into and out of whatever repository is set up for their CMS. I think it makes the workings of the CMS itself more transparent. Of course, this doesn't substitute for the more robust UI required for advanced content management features, but it does accommodate basic content addition, organization and receipt. -peter -----Original Message----- From: Hari M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 12:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [cms-list] Directory Uploads - WebDAV How does WebDAV fit in with CMS? I am a little hazy on the functional uses of WebDAV. I was looking for examples on how this specification can be used.
