So, what is this pr0n thing anyway?

Is the upload WebDAV server RFC-compliant?

Unfortunately, no. When and if somebody makes a sane framework for - making WebDAV servers I can use, it probably will, but ATM it's just - too much work for what I need it for. It would be a lot easier if - I only had to support WebDAV level 1, but due to silly restrictions - in Mac OS X' WebDAV client I have to support WebDAV level 2 as well, - and, well, most of that is faked. ;-) In addition, there are multiple - minor features in the system (like autorenaming files on name clashes) - that just aren't easy to adapt to WebDAV. The WebDAV service is - restricted, though, so I guess rather few people will get hurt just - because I'm not fully compliant ;-)
