“webdav.org (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) and
the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) today introduced an add-on to
the Apache HTTP Server that will provide its 9 million users
unprecedented control of information on the Web. With the
release of the mod_dav module, authored by one of the ASF’s
volunteer contributors, the world’s number one Web server gains new
power. mod_dav adds WebDAV capabilities to the Apache HTTP
Server, an open-source software product. With this addition, the
ASF ensures its users will have the most secure, efficient, and
extensible server available.”
“By providing a full-featured, standards-compliant, open-source
implementation of the WebDAV protocol, I am hopeful many more
communities will be able to use it and reap the benefits of remote
collaboration,” said Greg Stein, author of mod_dav version
1.0.”
“Companies such as IBM, Rational Software, MyDocsOnline.com, and
SuSE, use mod_dav in their products and services. Adobe’s GoLive
and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5 and Office 2000 also use WebDAV
as part of their operations and integrate seamlessly with mod_dav.
The open-source community has embraced WebDAV as well, as evidenced
by the Sitecopy and Goliath products, and the Nautilus file viewer
for the GNOME project.”
