WebDav IHttpHandler

[Guest]

Does anyone know of an ASP.NET solution for handling WebDav requests? I want
to be able to trap WebDav requests in an ASP.NET module (so that I can do
some custom authentication), then call into an HttpHandler so that the
request can be processed.

It seems to be that once the request is directed into ASP.NET, I can't do
anything with it (ie - only IIS can handle webdav requests in it's
filter/isapi extension or whatever).

btw - if anyone's interested, my solution for processing webdav requests in
ASP.NET is to use an ISAPI filter to rewrite the URL to a custom file
extension. Then in IIS I set up a custom mapping for that extension to go to
the ASP.NET dll. I then have an HttpModule that looks for that extension in
the begin request event.

Hi Brian,
Did you have any success in implementing this solution? We are
exploring different architectures for a client/server content
management application. We are debating whether or not to implement
WebDAV through ASP.Net or use a series of web services to transfer
files and data from the client to the server. How hard is it to
build this WebDAV solution?

Thanks,
Rob
