One of my co-workers is insisting I use an HTTP-compliant file editor to edit a web page. No direct file system access to the files, no FTP.
I have never heard of this stuff. Popular method of accessing files?
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't know how popular that is, but it's an option while using MS Visual Studio .Net (letting you create and edit asp, etc. files on a web server without file system access. No, I don't think ftp is an option.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is he talking about WebDAV?
There's also the Atom Publishing Protocol, which was just published as an RFC last week. Nobody has implemented it yet, but it could become a big deal in the future.

She just said HTTP, and said that MS Expression uses it. I don't have MS Expression and don't want to learn it, and really like being a curmudgeon.
I wonder how it's managing permissions, then. AD? Over HTTP?

Almost certainly WebDAV. Try these instructions and see what happens.

I find implications that UltraEdit should support WebDAV if it's configured in My Network Places, but when I do create the network place, I can't even browse and see a file I'm told I have access to. I can't believe this is all because I fixed some JS code (which I hate) on a website I don't want to work on.

So how does one get album cover art for CDs one already owns into iTunes?

Our wings are not tired
Right click on the track and choose "Get Album Artwork" from the bottom.

For a WebDAV-accessible folder to which I apparently have edit access, shouldn't I be able to create a Network Place for it and browse files? I mean, there must be something in the OS I can use to troubleshoot (and hopefully avoid installing MS Expression).

Awesome! Thanks, ND.
