I had a feeling this might work, sounds good.

Sounds best.

Ah, I understand now, yep.

Looking forward to seeing that WebdavJob stuff - btw one of my original ideas 
was to make a kio_webdav as a subclass of kio_http, we might want to look 
into that now it's getting bigger (we just need to expose some of the 
variables in HTTPProtocol to do this).
