Is there a minimal (possibly annotated) example of a typical request-response cycle, with both headers and body. As I understand it, this consists of an initial OPTIONS and a subsequent PROPFIND exchange - after that, GET and PUT should be straightforward, so I don't need a generic example there.
I've been considering exposing existing RESTful resources (collections and individual items within) via WebDAV. I only need basic functionality to work - listing directories, reading and writing files - which AFAICT means adding PROPFIND support should suffice.
The specification includes examples:
Request:
OPTIONS /somecollection/ HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Allow: OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, COPY, MOVE
Allow: MKCOL, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK, ORDERPATCH
DAV: 1, 2, ordered-collections
Request:
PROPFIND /somecollection HTTP/1.1
Depth: 0
Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"
Content-Length: xxx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<propfind xmlns="DAV:">

<supported-live-property-set/>
<supported-method-set/>
</prop>
</propfind>
Response:
HTTP/1.1 207 Multi-Status
