This is the underlying cause of several symptoms in WebDAV, some of which are
reported as separate bugs.

Some of the bugs marked as blocked by this one describe more than one separate
problem, some of which can perhaps be fixed independently. Note that 4125 has
been marked as PR2-worthy, so probably this one should be too, unless we can
find some other workaround for 4125 (or unless we demote it).

Talked to Mike, he will look at this. He ws suggesting not doing it for PR2.

cc:ed rebecka, as she was also looking into this. Rebecka and Mike and 
Pavel should make sure there's no duplicate effort being wasted here.

I don't know :)

I have a call out to Kevin Wiggen on this.  I think that the bug may not be
fixable due to pieces missing on the server side.

Xythos geninuely doesn't support ACL's now.

We're thinking of a hack involving setting a property on the root directory that
says "I'm an eazel vault root directory"

See note on 4125 for PR2 plan fix.

To fix this bug, we require ACL support on Xythos, which is not currently
implemented.  Kevin Wiggen says its planned for 2.1.  We're planning to work
with Kevin to get a pre-drop of ACL support prior to the 1.0 milestone.

Moving this bug to "Undecided"

Moving this to deferred.

Xythos won't be implementing ACL's in the near future, and we certainly won't be
prior to 1.0.  The bugs related to this issue will have to be fixed some other
way.

Not sure if this is a symptom of the same bug:  I'm running a WebDAV server at
home (http://www.decrem.com/dav).  I'm able to access it from a Windows client
just fine, and also using a Web browser, but not with Nautilus.  Bummer :)

The error message I get is:
 "Couldn't display "http://www.decrem.com/dav" because access was denied."

If I point Netscape to the same URL I get a login prompt instead.  Of course,
since this is a DAV folder, the desired result with Nautilus would be that I log
in, and then have write permission.
