Yes, I have used it to mount document servers as remote drives via WebDAV, and then use standard Unix one-liners to do queries and updates. Much more convenient than working with custom APIs. I also once integrated an open-source WebDAV server into my own code, in order to expose parts of an SQL database as a remotely mountable filesystem. This would have taken much more effort without the existing WebDAV infrastructure.
