Our current reasons to switch to HTTP is that HTTP is ubiquitous-- often<br>
already available at institutions, usually requires no additional<br>
training to make something available, and has no firewall/security<br>
concerns. I wonder if WebDAV still gives us those benefits.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry - coming into this a bit late... but it seems to me that HTTP would make the most sense when bundled with some standard we created for directory listings, modules, etc. In addition to being widely supported, it is also easy to use HTTPS to create simple-encryption in addition to it being easily accessed through just about any proxy service (if necessary). </div>
