davfs2 - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
Mount a WebDAV resource as a regular file system
Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), an extension to the HTTP-protocol, allows authoring of resources on a remote web server. davfs2 provides the ability to access such resources like a typical filesystem, allowing for use by standard applications with no built-in support for WebDAV.
davfs2 is designed to fully integrate into the filesystem semantics of Unix-like systems (mount, umount, etc.). davfs2 makes mounting by unprivileged users as easy and secure as possible.
davfs2 does extensive caching to make the file system responsive, to avoid unnecessary network traffic and to prevent data loss, and to cope for slow or unreliable connections.
davfs2 will work with most WebDAV servers needing little or no configuration.
davfs2 is developed and tested on GNU/Linux but porting to other free operating systems should not be too cumbersome.

Sorry, I forgot an easy to implement feature in 1.4.2.
This release mainly brings support vor Neon 0.29 and also activates Neon's support for NTLM authentication.
Option 'askauth 0' will now also prevent questions about suspicious SSL-certificates. They will silently not be accepted.
There is also experimental support for command line option 'username' which is needed by pam_mount.
Additional some bug fixes and work arounds for server bugs.

This release mainly fixes bugs that have been discovered since version 1.4.0. It also improves upload of changed files in the case of an unreliable connection and the retrieval of quota information from the Server.
Thanks to Dirk Arend for the many proposals for bug fixes and improvements.

This is the first release since davfs2 moved to Savannah.
Apart from fixing known bugs there are significant changes in the default configuration. If you update from an older version you may have to update your davfs2.conf file too, depending on your WebDAV-server. Please carefully read the NEWS file.
