Werner Mueller commented on VFS-180:
------------------------------------

maybe i've read the docs wrong. but the jackrabbit implementation is based on 
rmi? and the jackrabbit webdav client seems to exist mostly of interfaces. it 
seems to add something to httpclient. but i could not find any docs or 
examples. no docs no features - to be a bit polemic

indeed slide is retired but quite some tools rely on slide webdavlib. so that 
code maybe worth saving. anyhow vfs may be able to use wither slide or 
jackrabbit. 

i simply dont know anything about slide/jackrabbit/webdav plans at apache. 

in the end i would like to point to the webdav/ssl support feature :)

> The Slide Webdav lib supports encrypted HTTPS connections. So it should be 
> possible to add https support to vfs too. currently the webdav provider 
> creates http urls (in WebdavClientFactory.java).
> maybe some provider like 'webdavs' could be added to switch to HttpsUrl.
