Introduction
httpwwwietforgrfcrfc2518txt
DAV = Distributed Authoring and Versioning
Authoring = pretty much whatever you want it to mean
Versioning = well well get to that
2
Distributed
Distributed means that connections can be from anywhere
Like the web itself
Uses HTTP as the transfer protocol
3
Authoring
Create and edit documents
Uses standard HTTP methods for some things and has additional methods for others
4
Versioning
Delta-V
Not actually implemented in most DAV implementations
5
ReadWrite web
The initial vision for the web included the ability to write as well as read
Wikis are one interesting part of this
WebDAV is another way that its possible

Apache 13For Apache 13 mod_dav is a third-party module
Obtain it from httpwebdavorgmod_dav
Install via apxs

Configuration
Tell Apache about it

Apache 20For Apache 20 mod_dav is part of the standard distribution
Not enabled by default in a source build
Or install with apxs

Possible problems
php files are parsed prior to being sent to the DAV client (Or ssi or cgi or whatever)
Files must be writeable by the User user
Different access control needed for DAV accesses than for regular web access
17
One possible solutionI run a secondary HTTP server on another port with a greatly reduced number of modules solely for DAV
Run it as a different user (say dav for example)
Content is owned by that user

iCalendar
RFC 2445 describes a calendaring protocol called iCalendar
Includes an ASCII format for expressing event information
Various applications understand and produce the iCal format eg the iCal Sunbird
So what does this have to do with WebDAV
30
iCalendarThe iCal application has the built-in ability to save a calendar to a Dav repository and subscribe to a calendar available over HTTP
When you make a change to your calendar in iCal it is automatically posted up to your Dav server
Demonstration of iCal goes here
31
OutlookIf you use Outlook there are a few ways to do the same thing with your OutlookExchange calendar
httpwww2etbyuedu~njonesshareoutlook2ical
This allows you to publish a calendar and have other people subscribe to that calendar giving shared calendaring with minimal effort
32
phpicalendar

Allows multiple content providers to publish their iCalendar content and have it all displayed in one place

Subversion
Replacement for CVS
Uses DAV as the transfer protocol
ManyMost Open Source projects use this as their development environment
34
Svn
Because SVN is DAVHTTP based you can see it in your browser which makes it immediately more accessible than CVS

Network file systemsIf youre in a multi-OS environment Dav is a great replacement for things like NFS and SMB
If youre maintaining a website its a great replacement for FTP and can be run over HTTPS for security
Can authenticate the share against anything using available authentication modules
But it gets around some of the file permission problems that are common to other network file systems in multi-os environments

When you make a change to your calendar in iCal it is automatically posted up to your Dav server
Demonstration of iCal goes here

OutlookIf you use Outlook there are a few ways to do the same thing with your OutlookExchange calendar
httpwww2etbyuedu~njonesshareoutlook2ical
This allows you to publish a calendar and have other people subscribe to that calendar giving shared calendaring with minimal effort

Network file systemsIf youre in a multi-OS environment Dav is a great replacement for things like NFS and SMB
If youre maintaining a website its a great replacement for FTP and can be run over HTTPS for security
Can authenticate the share against anything using available authentication modules
But it gets around some of the file permission problems that are common to other network file systems in multi-os environments

iCalendar
RFC 2445 describes a calendaring protocol called iCalendar
Includes an ASCII format for expressing event information
Various applications understand and produce the iCal format eg the iCal Sunbird
So what does this have to do with WebDAV
30
iCalendarThe iCal application has the built-in ability to save a calendar to a Dav repository and subscribe to a calendar available over HTTP
When you make a change to your calendar in iCal it is automatically posted up to your Dav server
Demonstration of iCal goes here
31
OutlookIf you use Outlook there are a few ways to do the same thing with your OutlookExchange calendar
httpwww2etbyuedu~njonesshareoutlook2ical
This allows you to publish a calendar and have other people subscribe to that calendar giving shared calendaring with minimal effort
32
phpicalendar

Allows multiple content providers to publish their iCalendar content and have it all displayed in one place

Subversion
Replacement for CVS
Uses DAV as the transfer protocol
ManyMost Open Source projects use this as their development environment
34
Svn
Because SVN is DAVHTTP based you can see it in your browser which makes it immediately more accessible than CVS

Network file systemsIf youre in a multi-OS environment Dav is a great replacement for things like NFS and SMB
If youre maintaining a website its a great replacement for FTP and can be run over HTTPS for security
Can authenticate the share against anything using available authentication modules
But it gets around some of the file permission problems that are common to other network file systems in multi-os environments

iCalendar
RFC 2445 describes a calendaring protocol called iCalendar
Includes an ASCII format for expressing event information
Various applications understand and produce the iCal format eg the iCal Sunbird
So what does this have to do with WebDAV
30
iCalendarThe iCal application has the built-in ability to save a calendar to a Dav repository and subscribe to a calendar available over HTTP
When you make a change to your calendar in iCal it is automatically posted up to your Dav server
Demonstration of iCal goes here

OutlookIf you use Outlook there are a few ways to do the same thing with your OutlookExchange calendar
httpwww2etbyuedu~njonesshareoutlook2ical
This allows you to publish a calendar and have other people subscribe to that calendar giving shared calendaring with minimal effort

Network file systemsIf youre in a multi-OS environment Dav is a great replacement for things like NFS and SMB
If youre maintaining a website its a great replacement for FTP and can be run over HTTPS for security
Can authenticate the share against anything using available authentication modules
But it gets around some of the file permission problems that are common to other network file systems in multi-os environments

One possible solutionI run a secondary HTTP server on another port with a greatly reduced number of modules solely for DAV
Run it as a different user (say dav for example)

iCalendar
RFC 2445 describes a calendaring protocol called iCalendar
Includes an ASCII format for expressing event information
Various applications understand and produce the iCal format eg the iCal Sunbird

When you make a change to your calendar in iCal it is automatically posted up to your Dav server
Demonstration of iCal goes here
