hyperlinking to a webdav folder

Question

Is it possible to hyperlink to a WebDAV folder?

That is, can we embed a link in a webapp that opens a url within the same webapp as WebDAV folder, preferably within the same HTTP session? It only needs to work for Internet Explorer.

So far, I have found RFC 4709, which appears to be not implemented by Internet Explorer 8. (Correct?)

I have also tried file://127.0.0.1:8080/mywebapp/webdav (IE 8 says it cannot find the directory, even though http://127.0.0.1:8080/mywebapp/webdav can be opened with IE 7's open dialog using "Open as Web Folder".)

Answer 1

RFC 4709 contains a sample implementation for IE. Just run the script in Appendix B.1.
