Various embodiments of the invention are directed to closely integrating functionality between an internet server and a WebDAV tool. Areas of specific focus in this document include delegation of duties between the internet server and the WebDAV tool, efficient management of a resource's content-type, support for segregation of a namespace into separate virtual roots, and determinations of whether to invoke certain processing extensions to handle requests for a given HTTP verb.

1. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to store content, the computer-readable storage medium comprising: instructions to accept a first request, the first request comprising a specified namespace, a specified resource name, a specified resource name extension, and a specified content type;instructions to determine a scoping map that is applicable to the specified namespace, the scoping map comprising at least one entry, the entry comprising a mapping between a mapped resource name extension and a mapped content type;instructions to determine that one or more entries in the scoping map is inconsistent with the specified content type;instructions to store an association property, at a location exclusive of the scoping map, that relates the specified resource to the specified content type; andinstructions to utilize the association property to retrieve the specified content type, responsive to a second request associated with the specified resource name. 2. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the first request is a WebDAV request. 3. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 2, wherein the association property is stored using the WebDAV property-setting mechanism. 4. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 2, wherein the WebDAV request is a WebDAV PUT request. 5. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the scoping map further comprises a MIME map. 6. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the specified namespace has at least one virtual root, wherein a virtual root facilitates scoping namespaces with custom attributes. 7. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the specified namespace has a plurality of virtual roots that point to different physical locations. 8. A method of storing content on a web server, the method comprising: receiving a first request at the web server, the first request comprising a specified URL and a specified content type, the specified URL comprising a specified namespace, a specified resource name, and a specified resource name extension;obtaining a scoping MIME map that is applicable to a portion of the specified URL, the scoping MIME map comprising a plurality of entries that relate mapped resource name extensions to mapped content types;determining that one or more of the plurality of entries is incompatible with the specified content type;storing a relationship, in a location exclusive of the scoping MIME map, between the specified URL and the specified content type; anddetermining, at the web server, to utilize the relationship to retrieve the specified content type corresponding to a second request associated with the specified URL. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first request is a WebDAV request. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the relationship between a portion of the specified URL and the specified content type is stored using the WebDAV property-setting mechanism. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the WebDAV request is a WebDAV PUT request. 12. A computer system, comprising: at least one processor;at least one memory coupled to said at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions that, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:receiving a request to store content, the request comprising a specified URL and a specified content type, the specified URL comprising a specified namespace, a specified resource name, and a specified resource name extension;obtaining a scoping map applicable to the specified namespace;determining that an entry in the scoping map conflicts with the specified content type;storing an association, in a location exclusive of the scoping map, between the specified content type and the specified URL; andusing the association to retrieve the specified content type, responsive to a request to get content corresponding to the specified URL. 13. The computer system of claim 12, wherein the request to store content is a WebDAV request. 14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the relationship between a portion of the requested URL and the requested content type is stored using the WebDAV property-setting mechanism. 15. The computer system of claim 12, wherein the WebDAV request is a WebDAV put request. 16. The computer system of claim 12, wherein the scoping map further comprises a MIME map.
