Abstract
A method for connecting a client with a WebDAV-compliant server over a HTTP channel is provided. The method comprises, at a Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM), configuring a WebDAV protocol handler for handling HTTP URL requests. The method further comprises invoking a WebDAV URL connection, allowing a client making a URL request to connect to a WebDAV-compliant server, connecting the client to the WebDAV-compliant server via the WebDAV URL connection; and allowing the connected client to execute WebDAV methods via the WebDAV URL connection.
Claims13
A system operable to support Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol, said system comprising:
- a plurality of applications and server implementations;
- and
- a WebDAV URL connection operable to allow at least one said application to have a raw WebDAV conversation with at least one said server over a HTTP channel.
A method for connecting a client with a WebDAV-compliant server over a HTTP channel, said method comprising:
- at a Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) configuring a WebDAV protocol handler for handling HTTP URL requests;
- invoking a WebDAV URL connection;
- allowing a client making a URL request to connect to a WebDAV-compliant server;
- connecting said client to said WebDAV-compliant server via said WebDAV URL connection;
- and
- allowing said connected client to execute WebDAV methods via said WebDAV URL connection.
A system operable to support Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol, said system comprising:
- at a Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) means for configuring a WebDAV protocol handler for handling HTTP URL requests;
- means for invoking a WebDAV URL connection;
- means for allowing a client making a URL request to connect to a WebDAV-compliant server;
- means for connecting said client to said WebDAV-compliant server via said WebDAV URL connection;
- and
- means for allowing said connected client to execute WebDAV methods via said WebDAV URL connection.
Computer-executable software code stored to a computer-readable medium, said computer-executable software code comprising:
- code for configuring a WebDAV protocol handler for handling HTTP URL requests;
- code for invoking a WebDAV URL connection;
- code for allowing a client making a URL request to connect to a WebDAV-compliant server;
- code for connecting said client to said WebDAV-compliant server via said WebDAV URL connection;
- and
- code for allowing said connected client to execute WebDAV methods via said WebDAV URL connection.
