2196,Need a generic API for reading and writing resource contents,wsanchez,,"Need a generic API for reading and writing resource contents so that we can, for example, copy one DAV resource to another without having to know anything about the underlying implementation.

We have such a mechanism for properties, but not for the resource content.

The API (at least the read side) may be appropriate for non-DAV resources.

GET could (should?) be implemented on top of the read API.
