[Zope] Is it possible to extend Zopes WebDAV authentication?

[Chris McDonough]

Web Folders pass cookies around too, FWIW, so it's probably not strictly
necessary to use http basic auth.  But without using http basic auth,
there is no way to log in unless you have them go to the web interface
first, then launch a web folder, so maybe impractical.
