Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Access Control Protocol
RFC 3744, “Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Access Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2004 by G. Clemm, J. Reschke, E. Sedlar, J. Whitehead. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a set of methods, headers, message bodies, properties, and reports that define Access Control extensions to the WebDAV Distributed Authoring Protocol. This protocol permits a client to read and modify access control lists that instruct a server whether to allow or deny operations upon a resource (such as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) method invocations) by a given principal. A lightweight representation of principals as Web resources supports integration of a wide range of user management repositories. Search operations allow discovery and manipulation of principals using human names. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
