I am wondering if it is possible to convert WebDAV to FTP.

I have already found that the POST and GET methods can be parsed into an FTP url that sends or retrieves the files (in my case, using IBM DataPower). Although I managed to get both methods working, I seem to have problems getting a listing of the files in that FTP folder using WebDAV.

Could anyone give me a hint on what should travel on both request and response for the PROPFIND method? (DP v7 already supports non-standard HTTP methods)

From what I saw: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa142960(v=exchg.65).aspx it seems like XML is travelling to and from, so I might be able to do something with it, am I right?

Thanks in advance :)

Regards!

Yes indeed it's XML.

The format is defined in RFC 4918.

You have some help in this SO question, here.

    While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – rink.attendant.6 Aug 27 '14 at 01:36
  • I consider the link a bonus (although I have a hard time beliving IETF will change the RFC link structure) - the answer is RFC 4918, which is master definition of the WebDAV format (at least the parts asked for). I would rather not copy/paste the entire specs to SO. – Petter Nordlander Aug 27 '14 at 05:10
