“Apache has adopted an HTTP enhancement geared to advance
standards by allowing software development teams to collaborate
seamlessly and securely across geographic boundaries. The addition
could eventually change the way we cultivate the Internet.”
“Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) and the
Apache Software Foundation (ASF) have introduced an add-on to the
Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server that officials
said will provide an estimated nine million users unprecedented
control of information on the Web.”
“The mod_dav module, authored by one of the ASF’s volunteer
contributors, adds WebDAV capabilities to the Apache’s Open Source
HTTP server. With this addition, the ASF said that users can
benefit from a more secure, efficient, and extensible server
environment.“
