WebDAV is an extension of the well-known HTTP protocol. While HTTP was designed for visitors to download resources from a website (in other words, reading data), WebDAV extends the functionality of web servers by adding write operations, such as creating files and folders, moving and copying files, and more. The Nginx WebDAV module implements a small subset of the WebDAV protocol:
