Request for new feature.

Add a WEBDAV client to allow mapping a web drive.

Add a WEBDAV server to allow access to a drive.

I've been dabbling with webdav via lighttpd. Accessing it with linux clients 
(cadaver, thunar) worked ok, but from Windows writing files doesn't work. 
Windows behaves the same way when running lighttpd on a PC though, so maybe 
lighttpds webdav support is just incomplete.

I guess I'll try apache or nginx next (if they compile at all).

I read about some issues on Windows too. It seems that native Windows support 
for WebDav is not so stable as expected.

Got apache to run, but it's even worse. Windows won't even read files with it 
(Linux is fine again). Maybe there's actually something wrong with my windows 
installation or the network. I need to take a look at the traffic.

Google doesn't bring up a whole lot about issues with Windows (other than that 
the default file size limit is 50MB, but that can be fixed with a registry 
tweak).

Ok, figured out what broke reading from windows. A type conversation got messed 
when cross compiling, which caused apache to report bad file sizes. The other 
clients I tried don't check the size values so they weren't affected.

Attached is an opk package with apache. It comes with an init script so that 
the server will be launched at boot time and a really basic setup page 
(Services->Apache).

Things to keep in mind.
I'd suggest to only make the server accessible on a LAN. That's no 
authentication, although it could be enabled in the apache config. It also runs 
as root/admin to keep things simple, but that's usually a big no no.

Windows copy dialogs don't show the progress properly. They sit at 0 or ~99 
percent until the operation finishes.

I've had interrupted file transfers leave locked files behind.

Throughput is about 5 MB/s.

Memory usage seems to get quite high. I haven't checked yet how it behaves with 
another memory hog like transmission installed too.

Good news...

If you need some help, let me know. I can do some tests as I still have my wlx 
but I am not using it.
