[FR] WebDAV client implementation as an alternative to SMB v1 #1247

Describe the FR

As there is very limited and cumbresome support for SMB v1 (with NTLM auth, especially) in current smb implementations on linux/windows, with the danger of completely phasing it out in the future versions of samba server, there is lightweight alternative of using WebDAV as a protocol of choice for file communiction between PS2 and NAS servers.

Describe the solution you'd like

If i'm not wrong, WebDAV protocol could be implemented nearly costless on the client side. It can work with plain HTTP or HTTPS, it can work with and without authentication. It is also much faster in standard operations of listing dirs, transfering files in a real-life tests of most of home users. WebDAV is well documented in RFC. I'm not a programmer in any way, but I think there is a lot of resources to include simple (simpler than smb client) webDAV in OPL, e.g: https://github.com/fstanis/awesome-webdav
