The JAX-RS API defines such a plugin API for the server side, which is what
my WebDAV implementation currently is based upon (and such is vendor
independent).

For the client side, I will apply for a seat in the JAX-RS EG to get this
plugin being tailored into the API defined in JAX-RS 2.0. I do not see any
need for a different solution that that one.
