WebDAV Methods in LNI
PROPFIND - very powerful request with multiple functions:
list names of properties
return property values
recurse through 1 or more levels of a "collection" resource.
PROPPATCH - changes value of or deletes properties on one
GET - retrieves contents of a resource
PUT - replace or add a new resource to a collection
COPY - map a resource ("Item") to a different Collection.
As noted, equivalent SOAP methods are provided
Implemented: Locking, Versioning.
COPY is really more like LINK, but that's not mature
#No locking or versioning.
SOAP uses same HTTP PUT as WebDAV (vs. less mature SOAP Attachments)
