Dave,

Is it sufficient to simply install webdav-support to be able to use DAV in a general purpose way, or does this service only provide DAV access in concert with file-storage?

In other words, can I simply create a symlink in my www directory to my GNU Arch (http-listing enabled) repository to create DAV-accessibility?

/R

I think the primary security concern is that it uses basic authentication which means your password goes in plain
text (unless you are connecting via https).
