如何通过保存按钮将MS Word文档流式传输到浏览器？

Question

Are there any technologies/frameworks available that will allow a user to download a MS Word document from the browser, then stream the document back to the browser with the save button? This would be similar to MS SharePoint. When a document is opened (via IE) from SharePoint, you can save with CTRL+S and close the document, and the next time it is opened the changes are visible. Is this possible in a custom app?

Answer 1

Sounds like what WebDAV is for.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV

Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that facilitates collaboration between users in editing and managing documents and files stored on World Wide Web servers. A working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) defined WebDAV in RFC 4918.

The WebDAV protocol makes the Web a readable and writable medium.[1] It provides a framework for users to create, change and move documents on a server; typically a web server or web share.
