General WebDAV api

webDAV in fxOS

There is sustained interest in making FxOS WebDAV and CardDAV compatible (Bugzilla@Mozilla #859306). The developer who is currently assigned to this task has a GitHub repository of webDAV libraries built specifically for FxOS, but the project is still in progress.

Other JS WebDAV projects:

• webdavjs (basic functionality)
• js-webdav-client (made for a web app)
• webdav-sync (specifically for syncing folders)
• webdav-js (filesystem in a browser: not sure what the implementation of this would look like)
