+davfs2 (WebDAV Linux File System)
+
+davfs2 is a Linux file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV
+server as a local file system, like a disk drive. This way
+applications can access resources on a Web server without knowing
+anything about HTTP or WebDAV. Davfs2 runs as a daemon in userspace.
+It uses the kernel file system fuse (or coda, but fuse is in Slack
+12.1 kernel). To connect to the WebDAV server it makes use of the
+neon library. Neon supports TLS/SSL using OpenSSL(or GnuTLS, but
+Slack has OpenSSL) and access via proxy server.
+
+Dependencies are: neon (neon-0.26.4 is included in Slack 12.1)
