WebDAV is a protocol on top of HTTP so you can implement it pretty much by
letting curl to the HTTP transfer.

WebDAV is so much more than just transferring data, I don't think it has a URI
spec and it sends data XML-formatted that will need to get intepreted by a
WebDAV receiver and produced by a sender. I don't see it as realistic to
implement in curl.
