Changes

The WebDAV service uses the database user credentials in order to perform authentication and authorization. Initial user name and password are both set to <code>admin</code>. If database user and password are explicitly specified when starting the BaseX HTTP Server using the corresponding [[Command-Line Options#BaseX_HTTP_Server|startup options]], WebDAV will not request additional user authentication from the client.

In the WebDAV root directory, all existing databases are listed. As new resources can only be stored within inside a database, it is not possible to store files in the root directory. If a file is copied on top level, a new database will be created, which contains this resource. =Resources= ==XML Documents== Uploaded files that start with an angle bracket will be stored as XML files. XML entities will be decoded during this process. If a file is downloaded, the characters with the following code points will be encoded as entities: * 160 (non-breaking space)* 8192–8207, 8232–8239, 8287–8303 (see http://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_punctuation.asp) ==Binary Files== If XML parsing files, or if the first character of the input is no angle bracket, the file will be stored as binary resource.
