[jira] Created: (VFS-207) PATCH for Webdav - faulty test for existence causes PUT of new resource to fail

PATCH for Webdav - faulty test for existence causes PUT of new resource to fail
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: VFS-207
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-207
             Project: Commons VFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.1
            Reporter: Jason Harrop


org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.webdav.WebdavFileObject.setDavResource seeks to determine whether a specified resource exists already or not.  

At present, it checks whether COPY is an allowed method, and if it is, the resource is assumed to exist.  

According to the code, this works on IIS.

It doesn't work for Alfresco's WebDAV implementation, at least.  This causes the PUT of a new resource to fail.

The attached patch uses a PROPFIND to determine whether the resource exists.  (It also contains the simple fix to the argument to setEscapedPath)
