    Webdav support in the Kernel needed to be implimented a year+ ago.

    for those that don't know, [WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning". It is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. (shamelessly taken from http://www.webdav.org/)].

    there is a tool that will deal with this, and let you use one, its a bit out of date (dang close to a year now) but i had some mixed success (didn't have a use for it then), http://dav.sourceforge.net/

    Kent: We're just about to get our first pictures from inside the
    spacecraft with "average-naut" Homer Simpson, and we'd like to
    -- aah!

    three astronauts]
    Everyone: Aah!
    Kent: Ladies and gentlemen, er, we've just lost the picture, but,
    uh, what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft
    has been taken over -- "conquered", if you will -- by a master
    race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this
    vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men
    or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain, there is no
    stopping them; the ants will soon be here.
    And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to
    remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful
    in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar
    caves.
