WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is anHTTP Extension that lets web developers update their content remotely from a client.

WebDAV is rarely used alone, but two extensions are very common:CalDAV (remote-access calendar) andCardDAV (remote-access address book).

WebDAV allows clients to

• add, delete, and retrieve webpage metadata (e.g., author or creation date)
• link pages of any media type to related pages
• create sets of documents and retrieve hierarchical list
• copy and move webpages
• lock a document from being edited by more than one person at a time
