Dav Return Content Types

["Birah, Pavendip" <Pa...@bskyb.com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has an answer to the question below....

If I do a GET request against a directory using the IBM dav4j webdav
implementation, I get an xml response back.
If I do a similar request, but against apache mod_dav I get a html respose
back.

Would anyone happen to know what the response type for a similar reqquest is
with slide ?

Regards,

	Pav Birah

The behavior of a server when a GET is made on a collection resource is
unspecified by WebDAV. It's up to the server implementor to decide. Usually,
a directory browse page is generated, but it's server dependant.

An (ugly) HTML directory browsing page.
