davfs2 is a FUSE file system driver that allows mounting 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 "coda", or FUSE. To connect to the WebDAV server, it makes use of the neon library, supporting TLS/SSL and access via proxy servers.
