Mounting Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Servers
RFC 4709, “Mounting Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Servers”, is an Informational document published in October 2006 by J. Reschke. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In current Web browsers, there is no uniform way to specify that a user clicking on a link will be presented with an editable view of a Web Distinguished Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) server. For example, it is frequently desirable to be able to click on a link and have this link open a window that can handle drag-and-drop interaction with the resources of a WebDAV server.
This document specifies a mechanism and a document format that enables WebDAV servers to send "mounting" information to a WebDAV client. The mechanism is designed to work on any platform and with any combination of browser and WebDAV client, relying solely on the well-understood dispatch of documents through their MIME type. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
