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

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
/** 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 (<type>WebDAVFolderContent</type>) is a container for
other DCP Folders or Documents.
</li>
<li>
A DCP Document (<type>WebDAVDocumentContent</type>) 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>
