Thanks for the detailed reply. That pretty much answers it.
I definitely agree on the different purposes, but sadly that doesn’t help where object storage is used where it really doesn’t make sense (my org replaced their fileserver with object storage and a client sync app - grr).
WebDAV itself does not support random writes. That’s a separate RFC that’s not part of WebDAV, but is perfectly compatible, and many WebDAV servers offer that functionality
Ah, true. I was looking at SabreDAV specifically which does support it and made a leap that it was part of the spec.
Also, I am definitely going to check out your Nephele Serve project. Thanks for mentioning that.
