[Exist-open] WebDAV read-only in Mac OS X

[Alessandro V. <av...@sc...>]

Has anyone managed to mount eXist in read-write mode using the Mac OS X
WebDAV "client"?

>From the Finder, I have been using Go / Connect to Server. It works well,
but eXist gets mounted in read-only mode. I assume that this is just an
interface to mount_webdav. In the mount_webdav man page, I read:

     -o      Options passed to mount(2) are specified with the -o option
fol-
             lowed by a comma-separated string of options. See the mount(8)
             man page for possible options and their meanings. If connecting
             to a Class 1 compliant WebDAV server, the rdonly option will be
             set even if it was not specified because mount_webdav will not
             allow files to be opened with write access on servers which do
             not support the DAV LOCK method.

This is not very clear to me, but I assume this to mean that mount_webdav
will mount the WebDAV server in read-only mode if it does not support the
DAV LOCK method. Am I wrong assuming this? Has anyone managed to make this
work, or has any piece of advice?
