webdav support for swift

Fantastic! This is something I'd love to see in swift, and, to my knowledge, no one else is working on it.

I do think the best approach is to implement this in middleware.

Your best chances of getting your code included into swift are to keep up (the core devs) informed along the way. I would ask that you create a brief description of your plans in a Launchpad blueprint (http://blueprints.launchpad.net/swift) and include a link to an etherpad document that describes in detail how you plan on implementing it (http://etherpad.openstack.org). Finally, if you keep your code in a public code repo (perhaps in your fork of http://github.com/openstack/swift), we can all keep in sync and see what's going on. By doing all of this, we will be able to make sure that your design doesn't adversely affect current performance and scalability and know what's going on when it comes time to review it for inclusion into swift.

Hi Kunal, I'm just curious if started to work on the webdav support? How it looks like? Would it be possible to check it on?
