Abstract

WebDAV extends the web communication protocol HTTP/1.1 to provide a distributed authoring and versioning across the Internet. A property management, the principal ability of WebDAV, has many advantages for managing and utilizing additional information of sever resources as well as supports a role of storage. Most WebDAV Application systems currently available are using WebDAV for providing simple storage, not for the functionality of property management. However, to develop an advanced application such as a collaborative system based on WebDAV, it is very important to design and utilize user-defined WebDAV properties. In this paper, we propose DaVSUDP(WebDAV Simple User-defined Property Definition Protocol) that describes XML-based configurations representing WebDAV user-defined propertied and their processing steps. DavSUDP enables WebDAV servers to effectively manage user-defined properties in developing WebDAV-based applications. To show this, we extended the Apache mod_dav module to support DavSUDP and developed the OpenSpace in the iPlace collaborative system using the extended Apache web server.
