Neither are secure; the former because it grants the user too much
access[1], and the latter because it is a stupid protocol which should've

I disagree about [1] (more below). If you have your heart set on HTTP
then you want to use DAV. But then again, the server might not support DAV.

I don't see why it's black magic or unreliable. This is exactly the
method our group decided on (OpenDocument Fellowship). You just make a
custom shell which is simple enough.
