-------------------------------------
Summary: DavException: (301) Moved Permanently
Key: VFS-428
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-428
Project: Commons VFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.1
Environment: Apache 2.2.22 as Testerver and setted up like
http://commons.apache.org/vfs/testserver.html (but changed the 'crypt' password)

Priority: Blocker
Running the WebdavProviderTestCase using mvn -P webdav clean test

The deeper Problem is, that the HttpClient using by VFS does not append a
trailing slash and mod_dir of httpd has "DirectorySlash On" per default. So
httpd send 301 redirect to the same url with / appended.
I know that for this reason of problematic webdav client apache introduced
"redirect-carefully" for some user agents using the "BrowserMatch" directive.
So I just tried adding the following into my <Directory> directive
{code}
BrowserMatch "^Jakarta-Commons-VFS" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.0" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1" redirect-carefully
{code}
Its needed to have Jakarta-Commons-VFS *and* Jakarta Commons-HttpClient because
of two requests from commons vfs using two different user agents.
But instead of solving the issue, I get for every FileObject.getChildren() call
at least one FileObject of type imaginary with the same basename as the parent.
Thats not a problem at all (besides that this is totally wrong!) but deleting a
parent just dont work anymore, because of an *non-existent* imaginary file
inside the dir which cannot be deleted of course.
To cut a long story short, what is the right httpd webdav server config to use
2.0 Release version of VFS?
