Hi Jan-Pascal,

>For this I need to access the data that PROPFIND or SEARCH

I would think that sending all of the data unimpeded would probably the best 
way, as you say. Is there a limit on the metadata? The easiest way might be 
to just pass all of the response XML as "davResponse" or similar. That way we 
don't have to bloat http.cc with heaps of interpreting code likely to only be 
used in one place.

I don't think this is too much of a consideration. Still, we could have 
metadata "davRequestResponse", which directs kio_http to respond with the 
"davResponse" metadata, sound good?

No need.

A stat is performed before most file operations, so no, but if we make it that 
the app requests the full data first, it should be fine. Ok?

Cheers,

Hamish.
