Collection management in WebDAV is supported through a set of specific HTTP methods that allow clients to create, delete, move, and copy collections (folders) on a WebDAV server. These methods are:
1. MKCOL (Make Collection): creates a new collection (folder) on the server
1. DELETE: deletes a collection (folder) from the server
1. MOVE: moves a collection (folder) from one location to another on the server
1. COPY: copies a collection (folder) from one location to another on the server
In addition to these HTTP methods, WebDAV also provides a set of properties that can be used to manage collections, such as the DAV:collection property which identifies a resource as a collection or the DAV:getlastmodified property which indicates the last modification time of a collection.
Overall, collection management is an essential feature of WebDAV that allows clients to organize their resources on a WebDAV server in a hierarchical manner and perform operations on multiple resources at once.
