seems to work, but I am behind a restrictive proxy now. Can someone test, please?
There is a public 'Cloud Service' that provides (tiny) free Clouds.
See: http://box.com

Yes, they try real hard to sell you services and apts - you can ignore all of that if you wish.

This (and nearly any other) 'Cloud Service' is a super-set of the WebDAV protocol.

So yes, you can use WebDAV enabled applications,
See: https://support.box.com/entries/2035...upport-WebDAV-
(Yes, from a desktop also - ignore the hard sell marketing.)

If you are viewing your main account (files) page in a browser while using cadaver, it will post the most recent action it (you) preformed.
Yes, cadaver has a help command (and 'folders' are called 'collections').
Yes, you can set your account to share with others (either by blind, read-only links or with read/write collaboration).

No, I am not selling Box.com services - but it is there and a free place to use as a test target.

Code:
core2quad ~ $ cadaver
dav:/? open https://dav.box.com/dav
Authentication required for dav.box.com on server `dav.box.com':
Username: xxxxxxx@yyyyyyyy.org
Password: 
dav:/dav/> ls
Listing collection `/dav/': collection is empty.
dav:/dav/> mput part_notes.txt
Uploading part_notes.txt to `/dav/part_notes.txt':
Progress: [=============================>] 100.0% of 415 bytes succeeded.
dav:/dav/> mkcol Kindle
Creating `Kindle': succeeded.
dav:/dav/> move part_notes.txt Kindle
Moving `/dav/part_notes.txt' to `/dav/Kindle/part_notes.txt':  succeeded.
dav:/dav/> close
Connection to `dav.box.com' closed.
dav:!> quit
core2quad ~ $
https://app.box.com/s/e1ytx89948j3rrd1ny2r

With a little bit of source code diddling to make cadaver usable from scripting, this will allow us to provide a KUAL button to find and directly download Kindle add-ons.
While allowing application developers an easy place to publish their application bundles.
(the 'stock' cadaver does not read commands from stdin)

Disclaimer: WebDAV is not the only way to do the above, so my idea here may die due to a better one replacing it.

So, yes, there is a reason for a WebDAV client on a Kindle.
Someone please test Brian's build for us.
