The Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Protocol (WebDAV), as described in [RFC2518], extends the standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) mechanisms, as described in [RFC2616], to provide file access and content management over the Internet. WebDAV enables an Internet-based file system; however, it does not include the communication of detailed errors from server to client while performing file operations.
The Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Error Extensions Protocol extends WebDAV with extended error codes and uses an extended error handling mechanism, as described in [MS-WDV] section 2.2.3, to enable compliant protocol servers to report error condition details about a protocol server response.
Sections 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2, and 3 of this specification are normative. All other sections and examples in this specification are informative.
