Very simple question

At line 288, under the paragraph "System wide configuration", the location of the davfs2.conf file is specified as /etc/davfs2, and not as /usr/local/etc/davfs2. Because of this, I had some problems.
No config file was founded by the daemon, so it tried to use a proxy, named just "http:", and the mount operation obviously failed.
First, I did a forced "nouseproxy", and the things started working. Then, I was able to solve the problem checking the manpages, which report the right position for the configuration file.

By the way, it seems that there is a little mistake also in the manpages, under the "CACHING" paragraph. You specified two time the same file (/usr/local/etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf) instead of, I think, at least one entry for /usr/local/etc/davfs2/secrets.

    Thanks for the report.
    The errors will be corrected in the next release (but maybe there will be new errors, because there will be a lot of changes).
    In the man page, caching paragraph, only davfs2.conf should have been mentioned, but only one time.

    Cheers
