Hi Andr=E9,

many thanks for your thought's, but my requirement is not so complex and di=
fficult like it could be.

> DAV (or WebDAV), in itself, stands for Distributed Authoring and Versioni=
ng. It was originally designed mainly=20
> as a tool to help people to remotely edit the HTML pages of a website, an=
d be able to do so using the same
> HTTP connection which is already used by the website itself (thus avoidin=
g separate connections via FTP, SFTP,=20
> SCP etc. and the corresponding user access and permissions setup).
> But in itself, DAV does not have all the features which are needed to do =
this in a safe, multi-user scenario.

It is a big internal and 15 year old webserver, where I want to implement e=
xactly this purpose, what you are talking=20
about. DAV should be used instead of share's, like it is today. This servic=
e is only used internally and will never become a public=20
service, so from the security site I have no such strange requirements. Par=
allel access for writing will be solved with a simple
locking mechanism, because it is relatively seldom, that more than one pers=
on work on the same item and then it is acceptable,=20
that the first owner blocks the file til he is ready.

At least I have tried a little bit around to make our client (written in Ja=
va) able to send DAV request, but this failed til now,=20
because it seems, that I have to write my own ' DavURLConnection', because =
the 'HttpURLConnection' can't handle the=20
additional requests. Do you know, if some Java library for DAV clients exis=
t. I haven't found any lightweight solution til now.
To get the data and edit them, it is very strait forward and works fine for=
 me :-)

Many thanks for your patience

Arno
