Vladimir Lichman of IT Hit has released an Ajax library for managing WebDAV servers.
The library is compliant with WebDAV RFC 2518 and allows management of Class 1 and Class 2 complaint WebDAV servers. With IT Hit AJAX Library you can copy, move and delete items, read and set custom properties, lock items and discover locks. It is written entirely in JavaScript and supports IE, Firefox, Safari and Netscape.
JAVASCRIPT:
-
-
var session = new ITHit.WebDAV.Client.WebDavSession();
-
var folder;
-
try {
-
folder = session.OpenFolder("http://server:8080/folder");
-
} catch(e) {
-
if(e instanceof ITHit.WebDAV.Client.Exceptions.NotFoundException)
-
alert("Folder not found.");
-
else
-
throw e;
-
}
-
-
if (folder != null) {
-
var items = folder.GetChildren(false);
-
for (var i=0; i<items .length; i++) {
-
document.getElementById("container").innerHTML += items[i].DisplayName + "<br/>";
-
}

It’s a very simple implementation that does the basics. It comes with a simple example that demonstrates usage.
There are also jsspec tests that can be run from Ant (using Rhino).
