method for locking, unlocking resources.

[ghost]

Is there any method for locking, unlocking resources. I couldn't find it in dav.rb file

Locking and unlocking is supported. In dav.rb "lock" is one of the supported verbs.

fine, thanks! But when installed using gem 'net_dav', '~> 0.5.0' . It doesn't have those methods in dav.rb file.

You have the latest release of net_dav.

require 'rubygems'
require 'net/dav'
require 'uri'

dav = Net::DAV.new('http://www.example.com/')
dav.credentials(ENV['DAVUSER'],ENV['DAVPASS'])

uri = URI.parse('http://www.example.com/unlocked_file.txt')
dav.lock(uri.path, "<d:lockscope><d:exclusive/></d:lockscope><d:locktype><d:write/></d:locktype><d:owner>Owner</d:owner>")
dav.unlock(uri.path, "opaquelocktoken:<insert token here>")

I recommend you add pry to your code to start a irb like shell, and experiment a little

require 'pry'
binding.pry

I don't work with WebDAV servers anymore, so I would have to install a server to be able to create some sample code.
