(splitted enhancement from bug 30571)

Last but not least, I'd like to say that I dislike the fact that every ant task
comes with connection properties like url, username, password.
This way, ant has to reconnnect and reauthenticate with the server for each
operation. Therefore I'd like to propose to have one Ant task wich constitutes a
 webdav session and that all the other ant tasks can reference this
authentication context.

Maybe like this:

<dav:authContext name="session1" url="..." username="..." password="..." />
<dav:get context="session1">
    ....
</dav:get>
