David Seymore commented on IVY-643:
-----------------------------------

I just started working with SVNKit, svnkit.com. Its fantastic.. Not sure about licensing.. but, they have a working DAV client.. 

How brilliant would it be to have SVN access with ivy.. and get DAV client stuff at the same time.

> The commons-vsf project has been split into commons-vfs.jar and commons-vfs-sandbox.jar. The webdav support is provided by commons-vfs-sandbox.jar, see http://commons.apache.org/vfs/index.html : "Due to some technical reasons we had to move the webdav and jcifs (smb) filesystem to the sandbox. So if you need one of these filesystems you have to build VFS manually."
> Ivy does not come with commons-vfs-sandbox.jar and I believe it should in order to prevent its users from the hassle of building commons-vfs themselves. I myself built it from commons-vfs 1.0 source.
