disagreed, these are fully fledged fuse based filesystems, which can easily be 
set up today and used via file:// backend already.

the guy who found the solution for box.net claims that it chokes on 
<D:allprop/> .. if that's the case we could easily set up a --webdav-options 
switch that allows switching it off.
on the other hand, we currently don't need it anyway (maybe for the enhanced 
upload plausability) but as far as i can see is <D:allprop/> not really 
necessary as servers should at least return the list of files (urls) and more 
properties at will, if no <D:allprop/> was defined.

shouldn't we try the route without <D:allprop/> first?
