Hi guys,

I read that mongrel supports the webdav protocol. I need to “create” the  
webdav files and allow a third party app access it just for read  
purposes.

What do you recommend?

Hi Fernando.

Unfortunately, you are incorrect. Mongrel is a web server for Ruby,  
and does not provide an implementation of the WebDAV protocol. You  
could of course write a WebDAV server for Mongrel, but that would take  
some effort.
