39/** The WebDAV Content Provider (DCP) implements a <type>ContentProvider</type>
40    for the <type>UniversalContentBroker</type> (UCB).
41
42	<p>It provides access to WebDAV	and standard HTTP servers. The DCP
43	communicates with the server using the WebDAV protocol which is an
44	extention to the HTTP protocol or using the plain HTTP protocol in case
45	the server	is not WebDAV enabled.

52	/** provides two types of content: a Folder or Document which corresponds
53	    to a collection or non-collection (nodes and leafs) in WebDAV
54		respectively.
55
56		<p>
57
58		<b>DCP Contents</b>
59		<ol>
60		<li>
61		A DCP Folder (<type>WebDAVFolderContent</type>) is a container for
62		other DCP Folders or Documents.
63		</li>
64		<li>
65		A DCP Document (<type>WebDAVDocumentContent</type>) is a container for
66		Document data/content. The data/content may be anything, a WebDAV
67		server, like an HTTP server, does not necessarily mandate what type of
68		data/content may be	contained within Documents. The type of data/content
69		is defined by the MediaType property which is different from the content
70		type returned from the getContentType method. The MediaType property is
71		mapped to the equivalent WebDAV property and the WebDAV server
72		calculates the value.
73		</li>
74		</ol>
75
76		<p><b>URL Scheme for DCP Contents</b>
77
78		<p>Each DCP content has an identifier corresponding to the following
79		scheme:
80
81			<ul>
82			<li>
83			vnd.sun.star.webdav://host:port/&lt;path&gt; where &lt;path&gt; is
84			a hierarchical path of the form	&lt;name&gt;/.../&lt;name&gt; and
85			where &lt;name&gt; is a string encoded according to the URL
86			conventions.
87			</li>
88			</ul>
89
90		<p>It is also possible to use standard HTTP-URLs. In this case the
91		implementation will determine by itself, if the requested resource
92		is DAV enabled.
93
94		<p>Examples:
95
96		<ul>
97		<li>
98		vnd.sun.star.webdav://localhost/davhome/ ( a DAV collection )
99		</li>
100		<li>
101		vnd.sun.star.webdav://dav.foo.com/Documents/report.sdw
102		</li>
103		<li>
104		http://dav.foo.com/Documents/report.sdw
105		</li>
106		</ul>
