Hi Devs,
xwiki-webdav-plugin was developed to provide means to calculate webdav urls
of xwiki documents and attachments. But as it turns out, for a given
document or an attachment, calculating webdav url is simply a string
manipulation operation. It doesn't require any support from the webdav
component (and thus the webdav plugin). So, I'm thinking we should remove
the webdav plugin completely.
WDYT ?
Thanks.

+1 to remove the plugin if it's really useless
Thanks.

+1 of course if it's useless. We don't want useless things :)
Less is better.
Unless there's another need to keep it of course.
Thanks

I don't like the "string manipulation" approach. In the future we should
have pluggable URLFactories, so that you should just call something like:
$services.urlFactory.getFactory('webdav').getAttachmentLink($attachment)
+1 for removing the plugin, I never liked it anyway.
