WebDAV servers can support event handling through WebDAV extensions. These extensions allow clients to register for notifications when certain events occur on the server, such as changes to a file or folder.
For example, WebDAV syncing protocols such as SyncML and CalDAV support event handling through the use of push notifications. With push notifications, a client can register for updates to a file or folder and receive notification when changes occur.
Other WebDAV extensions, such as the WebDAV Change Notification Protocol, provide a more elaborate event handling system. The changes are monitored at the WebDAV server level, and a client is notified when the content is altered or modified.
Additionally, WebDAV servers may support webhooks, which enable clients to register a URL endpoint that the server sends notifications to when an event occurs. This allows clients to implement their own logic and handling of server event notifications.
Overall, WebDAV servers support event handling through various extensions, which allow clients to receive notifications when changes occur on the server, whether it be file changes from SyncML or server-level modifications from the WebDAV Change Notification Protocol.
