The point I was trying to gently make is that if the OP is attempting
to implement WebDAV for file storage, Finder already does this, and it
may be appropriate to just delegate the WebDAV connectivity.  I
specifically mentioned the Dreamweaver example as an illustration:
Dreamweaver has a very buggy WebDAV plugin that does nothing more than
allow you to specify the "remote" site as a WebDAV share.  But you can
also specify any directory on any mounted volume, and Finder has a
much more stable WebDAV implementation, so I abandoned the WebDAV
plugin for the extra step of manually mounting the WebDAV share with
Finder.  As a side bonus I got all the functionality that comes with
mounting the share as a volume.

I'm just following the philosophy that the best code is the code you
don't have to write.
