Description

The current solution of listing dav-methods supported by a particular type of resource within a String constant is not satifying:

• Handling and concatenation of the various constants is cumbersome.
• They don't use the constants defined with the DavMethod utility.
• DavMethod class defines a couple of utility methods to determine if a requested method is part or affected
  by a particular feature, while the 'method-set' is defined with the resource interfaces.

and mainly:

• RFC 3253 defines various feature sets that may or may not be supported and combined.
  The single-string constant does not reflect these sets.
