What is this submission attempting to express? The main thing I noticed is that the webpage hasn't been updated since 2009 and the WebDAV working group appears to have abandoned it for unspecified reasons. I frequently use WebDAV via a very popular iOS app and never had any issues with it, so I'd be interested to know why it has been abandoned.

Because the clients/server quality varied (very fragmented standard compared to it's relative use amount) and for what it did plain HTTP or some pre-existing "proper" file exchange protocol likely met the need better anyways.

I have the same question. What is the purpose of this post?
