There are, as I recall, at least two Python[1] webdav implementations;
one by Greg Stein and one by a German fellow, whose name I don't
remember.

I asked about WebDAV and Webware last year; I'd be willing to help add
WebDAV support to Webware's existing HTTP support. I agree with Ian
that, in addition to whatever URL handling fixups are needed anyway,
it's not *that* much additional code. And the XML handling part can
likely be done in a few hundred lines of SAX; i.e., as I recall,
WebDAV's use of XML is not at all exotic or complex. (In fact, the XML
handling is probably the part that least needs to be rewritten and can
be used w/ little change from one of the existing implementation,
license terms permitting.)

However, I'm more interested in whether it makes sense to have Apache
handle WebDAV (especially since Apache 2 includes mod_dav) as opposed
to it being in WebKit. I'm not sure of all the pros and cons, but the
biggest pro is that mod_dav already works. :>

Best,
Kendall Clark

[1] Actually, a quick googling reveals at least three; the one in
Zope, a very early one by Xerox/PARC, and http://webdav.de/ -- which
hasn't been updated since 2000, but mentions 4Suite and should likely
be perused.
