<div><p>This topic provides information about Web-based distributed authoring
and versioning (WebDAV).</p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Information
for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for i5/OS .
It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest
level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are
not available prior to this update. See <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.htm</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> for more information. </div>
<p>Web-based distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV) is a set of extensions
to the HTTP protocol that allows WebDAV clients (such as Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Web
Folders) to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote Web servers. Major
features of WebDAV include: </p>
<ul><li>File locking so that two or more users do not overwrite the same file.
</li>
<li>XML data to store properties data such as author information. </li>
<li>Copy and move operations so that directory structures can be modified. </li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="rzaieconfigwebdav.htm">Set up WebDAV for HTTP Server (powered by Apache)</a> for information
on how to configure WebDAV. </p>
<p>WebDAV is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol. The following table
defines the HTTP methods and the WebDAV extensions. Note that two methods,
DELETE and PUT, are defined in the HTTP 1.1 specification, but modified by
WebDAV.</p>
