/** The WebDAV Content Provider (DCP) implements a ContentProvider
    for the UniversalContentBroker (UCB).

    <p>It provides access to WebDAV and standard HTTP servers. The DCP
    communicates with the server using the WebDAV protocol which is an
    extension to the HTTP protocol or using the plain HTTP protocol in case
    the server  is not WebDAV enabled.

published service WebDAVContentProvider
{
    /** provides two types of content: a Folder or Document which corresponds
        to a collection or non-collection (nodes and leafs) in WebDAV
        respectively.

        <p>

        <b>DCP Contents</b>
        <ol>
        <li>
        A DCP Folder (WebDAVFolderContent) is a container for
        other DCP Folders or Documents.
        </li>
        <li>
        A DCP Document (WebDAVDocumentContent) is a container for
        Document data/content. The data/content may be anything, a WebDAV
        server, like an HTTP server, does not necessarily mandate what type of
        data/content may be contained within Documents. The type of data/content
        is defined by the MediaType property which is different from the content
        type returned from the getContentType method. The MediaType property is
        mapped to the equivalent WebDAV property and the WebDAV server
        calculates the value.
        </li>
        </ol>

        <p><b>URL Scheme for DCP Contents</b>

        <p>Each DCP content has an identifier corresponding to the following
        scheme:

            <ul>
            <li>
            vnd.sun.star.webdav://host:port/&lt;path&gt; where &lt;path&gt; is
            a hierarchical path of the form &lt;name&gt;/.../&lt;name&gt; and
            where &lt;name&gt; is a string encoded according to the URL
            conventions.
            </li>
            </ul>

        <p>It is also possible to use standard HTTP-URLs. In this case the
        implementation will determine by itself, if the requested resource
        is DAV enabled.

        <p>Examples:

        <ul>
        <li>
        vnd.sun.star.webdav://localhost/davhome/ ( a DAV collection )
        </li>
        <li>
        vnd.sun.star.webdav://dav.foo.com/Documents/report.sdw
        </li>
        <li>
        http://dav.foo.com/Documents/report.sdw
        </li>
        </ul>

        </p>
