No, xmlrpc isn't involved at all, and I don't _think_ you need to 
subclass the http protocol. Mostly it will involve writing a 
twisted.web.resource.Resource subclass that handles all the various 
WebDAV Methods in its render(request) method. You will have to learn a 
lot about the request object, which is defined in 
twisted.web.server.Request (it subclasses twisted.protocols.http.Request).
