Hi,

to make things clearer:

1. The "WebDAV Interface" is a WebAgent service. Therefore it will be used together 
with our web server wahttp. So wahttp becomes a webdav server when the WebDAV service 
is "deployed" and enabled. 

2. We use this configuration for document exchange in a productive environment for a 
while now. There we have no need for DeltaV or ACL's, thats why there is no 
implementation of these.

3. Support for DeltaV and ACL is NOT planned.

4. Since we have this WebDAV thing anyway, we want to share it with you. Maybe some of 
you might find it to be usefull.

5. As soon as the release date is decided it will be announced.

For aim and objective of webdav please check www.webdav.org.

Cheers,
Daniel
