I found this in a ChangeLog entry from 2001: (url-dav-supported-p): Cheap way to figure out whether we will be able to do DAV at all. We rely on the XML parser expanding namespaces for us, and currently you need a patched version of xml.el to do this. Patch sent to author for consideration. The function url-dav-support-p is defined as: (defun url-dav-supported-p (url) (and (featurep 'xml) (fboundp 'xml-expand-namespace) ... xml-expand-namespace is nowhere to be found, so dav is never supported, and in fact it doesn't work if the server uses an alias other than DAV for the DAV namespace. Any workaround for this? -- Cecilio Pardo.
