Hi all
Thanks for great new version.
I just want to share very first test of BaseX as WebDAV server. It works with BaseX version 7.0!!!
1. Started BaseX GUI
2. Imported directory with 12000 xml files as new database named jsdi
3. started basexhttp.bat
4. stopped BaseX GUI
5. went to browser to http://localhost:8984/webdav/
and nothing there found (but no error either)
6. Created new network place to show content of WebDAV repository (see instructions
here <http://kb.iu.edu/data/araf.html#xp>)
7. Browsing new network place on Windows
A bit slow, but there are 12000 files, so no surprise
8. Created new folder there named subdir and dragged-dropped there another 4 xml files (these files have other elements then original ones)
9. Opening BaseX GUI
10. Searching for the elements from new files - and they are found.
My first feeling is - Impressive

True; at this point, we could return some explanatory feedback. Not sure, though, if this is supported by Milton, our WebDAV API.

I've added some instructions on Windows XP to our Wiki:

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.

Hi Christian
Thanks for hint of webdav cliane (total commander). I will have to try it. In fact, I am living inside of Google Chrome and Total Commander. Do not take me wrong - I think, that empty response on WebDAV url is ok. It is considered to be sw interface, not a GUI.

Written for BaseX 6.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
