/**
 * A Moodle-modified WebDAV client, based on
 * webdav_client v0.1.5, a php based webdav client class.
 * class webdav client. a php based nearly RFC 2518 conforming client.
 *
 * This class implements methods to get access to an webdav server.
 * Most of the methods are returning boolean false on error, an integer status (http response status) on success
 * or an array in case of a multistatus response (207) from the webdav server. Look at the code which keys are used in arrays.
 * It's your responsibility to handle the webdav server responses in an proper manner.
 * Please notice that all Filenames coming from or going to the webdav server should be UTF-8 encoded (see RFC 2518).
 * This class tries to convert all you filenames into utf-8 when it's needed.
 *
 * Moodle modifications:
 * * Moodle 3.4: Add support for OAuth 2 bearer token-based authentication
