Hi Jan,
thanks again for your positive feedback!
started basexhttp.bat went to browser to http://localhost:8984/webdav/ and nothing there found (but no error either)
True; at this point, we could return some explanatory feedback. Not sure, though, if this is supported by Milton, our WebDAV API.
Created new network place to show content of WebDAV repository (see instructions here)
I've added some instructions on Windows XP to our Wiki:
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/WebDAV
Browsing new network place on Windows A bit slow, but there are 12000 files, so no surprise
Yes, that's a problem specific to the mediocre Windows WebDAV clients. The BaseX WebDAV implementation itself is pretty fast. For 12000 files, it should usually take around 20-50 ms to deliver all meta data.
Personally, I use Total Commander (imho, the best Windows product ever written) and its WebDAV plugin to connect to BaseX.
My first feeling is - Impressive
More feedback is welcome, Christian
