Description
I'd like to be able to browse files on a WebDAV server. SMB's already supported, and (apparently) SFTP's being worked on. But for me at least, WebDAV seems like a much simpler system to implement, and it is much easier to set up a WebDAV server in Apache, for example. It'd greatly simplify sharing files between my GNU/Linux desktop and my Android phone (especially if uploading files were implemented as well).
iFile on iOS supports this, and (I believe) some proprietary apps on the Google Play store do as well.

WebDAV is the one thing I am missing having since I started using Android on a nexus about three years ago. It'd make my day if we had a FOSS program that supported it.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing SMB support and the SFTP work mentioned in the issue to understand how remote file services fit into Amaze File Manager. Clarify whether the scope includes browsing only or uploading as well; done should provide reliable WebDAV browsing, with uploading included only if that scope is accepted.
