The filer can use NFS rather than HTTP to respond to file transfer requests made
through Web browsers that support the WebNFS protocol.
The filer does not need a license for the HTTP protocol to respond to WebNFS
requests; however, the filer must be licensed for the NFS protocol.

To access files through the WebNFS protocol, users type URLs that start with nfs://.
Web browsers must be capable of sending requests using the WebNFS protocol.

With WebNFS, the filer can transfer files much faster than with HTTP because the
WebNFS protocol can transfer several files, including graphics files, with only one TCP
connection. The HTTP protocol, in version 1.1, requires a separate connection for each
file that is transferred.

WebNFS access does not use the mount command to enable access to a subtree,
and does not consider UID/GID mappings.
