WebDAV is not simple, is not straight forward to use, and is not a FTP like setup for HTTP.

I'd agree that libfetch requires ftp: and http: methods in it.

The server set somebody runs may allow only modern stuff in it, but my network has items in it
that only support the old stuff that can't be upgraded short of a forklift upgrade.
