WebDAV servers support actions on properties by providing a set of methods for reading, creating, updating, and deleting properties associated with resources. These methods are defined in the WebDAV specification and are typically implemented as part of an HTTP server or a standalone WebDAV server.
The most common WebDAV property methods include:
1. PROPFIND – Used to retrieve the properties associated with a resource or collection.
1. PROPPATCH – Used to modify or update the properties of a resource.
1. MKCOL – Used to create new collections and set properties for the collection.
1. DELETE – Used to remove a resource or collection and its associated properties.
1. COPY – Used to copy a resource or collection, including its properties.
1. MOVE – Used to move a resource or collection, including its properties.
WebDAV also supports the creation of custom properties, which can be used to store metadata about a resource or collection. These properties can be used to supplement the default set of properties provided by WebDAV, and can be accessed and updated using the same methods mentioned above.
Overall, WebDAV servers provide a powerful set of tools for working with properties, allowing developers and system administrators to manage resources and collections with precision and efficiency.
