[jetty-discuss] Re: New WebDAV servlet 0.3

[Pier F. <pi...@be...>]

Ahhhh..

Well spotted, for when the repository is relative to the web- 
application's root... Didn't test it recently. I committed it to CVS.  
Will wait a little bit for another round of bugs to come in and re- 
roll a new version...

But the odd thing is that I fixed the same thing over into  
DAVUtilities, and I thought it was odd... Was Jetty 4 by any chance  
allowing resources not starting with a "/" to be read??? (Just curious)
