Support for acl and report method

@masx200 Could you be more specific? Would you have an example of what you want implemented?

[masx200]

I searched webdav on ietf's datatracker and found rfc as follows.

from rfc 2291 to rfc 8607.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/search?name=webdav&sort=&rfcs=on&activedrafts=on&by=group&group=

I found that webdav has updated many new extension methods and headers and others.

However, some webdav servers or client have incomplete support for these functions.

The release date of these rfc is from February 1998 to June 2019.

I want to know whether there is currently a server or client that implements all webdav functions?

[masx200]

So what functions does the current webdav-client support, and which functions does it not support?

I'd be happy to support such features, under the condition that the API is clear and concise and that tests are provided alongside. I'd happy accept a PR that covers this and adds documentation as to its use.
