My example wasn't a good one. My goal is to try to integrate a

would like the user to be able to share a file only by draging it to the

Yes -- this can be done and from a Cocoa app, too. It is even relatively easy.


Implement a WebDAV server that barfs out the appropriate DAV HTTP responses for the dynamically populated folder and mount that in the Finder.

And absolutely no performance whatsoever, been there, done that. Apple's WebDav implementation is so broken that I wouldn't touch it with a stick. If you want even a little bit of performance you must go and develop a kernel extension.
