Hello,

It looks like PEP 268 Extended HTTP functionality and WebDAV 
(http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0268.html) is dead. Personally I have 
run into a couple of situations where it is just not possible to use 
urllib or urllib2 (e.g adding more efficient Digest authentication, 
Negotiate authentication, gzip encoding, etc). The idea explained in the 
PEP looks good.

It looks like no one is interested in completing/implementing/finishing 
this PEP. Is this the case?

Regards,

Maas
