This document describes the specifications for a server of
WebNFS clients.  WebNFS extends the semantics of versions 2
and 3 of the NFS protocols to allow clients to obtain
filehandles more easily, without recourse to the portmap or
MOUNT protocols.  In removing the need for these protocols,
WebNFS clients see benefits in faster response to requests,
easy transit of firewalls and better server scalability This
description is provided to facilitate compatible
implementations of WebNFS servers.
