!!! Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning.



A set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. Kind of like Wiki, but on a grander scale. 



WebDav is platform independent, both in terms of client and server, and makes use of the standard authorisation and authentication methods built into every Web Server already. It is defined in RFC 2518.
