Not so fast ;-)  The SAML POST binding requires that the HTTP UA be a

Fair enough. (tho any self respecting webDav client should, which is what
various blogging tools really are)

I can't vouch for them being "self-respecting" but here are some WebDAV clients that do not render HTML at all, so can't use HTML forms to authenticate: - Mac OS/ X "WebDAV-FS" tool in the OS, which mounts a remote WebDAV repository as a file system (very NFS-like) - Windows NT and XP and later, "Network Places" or File system "Redirector" which do the same
        - Xythos WebFile Client, mounts WebDAV repository as a Windows drive
        - cadaver, command-line WebDAV client for *nix
- sitecopy, *nix utility for synchronizing local and remote file system content over WebDAV
        - Chandler, general sharing and calendar sharing client (CalDAV)
        - Mozilla "Sunbird", calendar client
        - Evolution calendar client
        - MS Outlook Express, email over WebDAV
        - SVN clients, doing source gets/puts/synchs over WebDAV
- Adobe Acrobat, GoLive, Photoshop and others, share "workgroup" documents on WebDAV

There are more listed at <http://www.webdav.org/projects/> though it's not complete either.
