1.3     ! raeburn     2: 
        !             3: If your domain has Apache with SSL running on the LON-CAPA server where you   
        !             4: access your Authoring Space (i.e., URLs begin https://) and your Domain 
        !             5: Coordinator has enabled webDAV access for users with author or co-author 
        !             6: roles, then you will be able to connect to an Authoring Space using webDAV.    
1.1       raeburn     7: 
                      8: A webDAV connection allows you to mount the Authoring Space directory tree as an
                      9: external volume.  You can then use your own laptop/desktop computer's file management
1.3     ! raeburn    10: tools and applications to copy, move, edit and delete files (including dragging and 
        !            11: dropping folders, etc.).
1.1       raeburn    12: 
                     13: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
                     14: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
                     15: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
                     16: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
                     17: 
                     18: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without a mechanism to
                     19: reverse the deletion), it is important that you are especially careful when working in the
                     20: webDAV environment with this type of content.
                     21: 
                     22: When you display the contents of a directory in Authoring Space using webDAV you may see
                     23: additional files, with extensions .log, .save, .bak etc. for each LON-CAPA .problem  
1.3     ! raeburn    24: file.  You can view the contents of these files but you will not be able to modify or
1.2       raeburn    25: delete them.  These files are created by LON-CAPA when using the web GUI.
1.1       raeburn    26: For example, a .log file, which records publication history, is updated whenever you
                     27: use ``Publish'' to copy a file from Authoring Space to Resource Space, and .bak files 
                     28: enable use of the LON-CAPA ``Undo'' button in regular web browser-based editing in 
1.2       raeburn    29: Authoring Space.
