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.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

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).

No problem. Oh, I have a check for you. If you want to pick it up you can swing by HHN or I'll just hold it until I see you next.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, yes. You need to have the web address for the webdav folder, just put that in there, then it will ask for user name and password, and then you should be able to access it like a folder. Granted, it may take a bit if there are a lot of files and folders, but you can see it in explorer.
