 Description: An Open Source XCAP server implementation
  XCAP protocol allows a client to read, write and modify application
  configuration data stored in XML format on a server. XCAP maps XML document
  sub-trees and element attributes to HTTP URIs, so that these components can
  be directly accessed by HTTP. An XCAP server is used by the XCAP clients to
  store data like Presence policy in combination with a SIP Presence server
  that supports PUBLISH/SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY methods to provide a complete SIP
  SIMPLE server solution.
