well dqwit is working on DAV integration into the http io slave, so the DAV part is covered. Knowing (because I use it) that apache has an excellent mod_dav there would be no nreal need to integrate it directly into zope as long as the data that will be m odified can be ins ome for accessed in it hard coded form by apache. I do not know if zope uses a databse.
anyways WebDAV is in thw works, because I wanted to offer writing an io slave for it and dawit said he was on it

First, could you give me the email address for dqwit? I want to find out, and beg if necessary, if he's doing the part of WebDAV that retrieves the document source.

Next, to cover your subsequent points...Zope already supports DAV. Basically, Zope runs as a process outside of Apache. Zope includes protocol handlers for HTTP, FTP, xml-rpc, FastCGI, etc. You can put Apache in front of Zope and use mod_proxy as the RPC.

Yes, Zope uses a database, it's internal object database written in Python. More info at:

1) http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZODB1
2) http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZODB2

The database is organized like a filesystem, rather than relationally. This makes it a great fit for DAV. Objects in the database are instances of Python classes, meaning there are real first class "document", "image", "folder", and user-defined classes for DAV to tinker with.

Here's the HTML "GUI" for working in the object database, http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/UsingZope.dtml#2-1

We've been doing DAV for two years now and thus I have a huge desire for a good DAV client environment. Having a better DAV client in KDE would be a big win.

Do you use Python much?
