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 resource.
•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
•
Not 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)
