The idea was to write a full-fledged, rich, native WebDAV client (not
supporting DeltaV--at least at first). If XmlHttpRequest doesn't
support binary content, raw sockets could be used in that case (this is
what FireFTP uses).

Sounds good. This is the area where I just was stuck.

Most of it could probably be written in pure HTML, JS, and CSS if it
weren't for XmlHttpRequest lack of binary support. Julian, are you sure
about that? Can't use Base64 encoding and instruct the WebDAV server to
decode?

Yes, I'm sure about that. Microsoft's implementation supports getting a stream object for the content, but this is missing in Mozilla. Maybe we can get it if we ask for it?

And no, there's no way to ask WebDAV servers for a base64-encoded version of the content.

webdavclient.mozdev.org seems to have done a decent job so far. I
haven't installed it yet, but just looked at the screenshots. Is it
under active development?

As far as I can tell, no. But asking the author sure makes sense.

Julian, the link to
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/draft-reschke-webdav-mount-03.txt
doesn't seem to work. Can you send again?

Works for me, but just in case simply use <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-mount-03.html>.

Best regards, Julian
