Is there any good browser based WebDAV client? If not, is it possible to make one?

A:
There's a plugin for Firefox which handles WebDAV.
Webfolders is a firefox extension that gives you the ability to view the contents of WebDAV servers in the browser and use the full functionality of the WebDAV protocol.

Depends on what you expect the client to do, and whether you're looking for a cross-browser "web application", or a browser extension.
The main issue with doing this in a "web application" (as opposed to a browser extension) is (1) the lack of binary data support in Javascript, and (2) the lack of access to the local file system (which of course is a security feature).

Firefox 3.5, Chrome 4 and Safari 4 now provide access to local file system. You can upload files files using pure JavaScript/XHR via PUT as WebDAV specification requires. We have implemented this support in IT Hit Ajax File Browser. Unfortunately IE still does not support upload via PUT, hope they will fix this in IE 9. Moreover, implementations or CORS in Firefox, Safati and Chrome allow cross-domain access to WebDAV servers.
