WebDAV is probably the right solution, but it's not currently 
implemented by Twisted (but feel free to write an implementation and 
submit patches).  I have done some very simple WebDAV stuff with 
Twisted, the simple commands are easy and are enough to get some things 
to work (like mozilla calendar or iCal).
