Ha! THAT's what you meant. But as far as I recall, the issue there is that 
Windows does not respect the WebDAV protocol properly; does Milton work around 
that ? Do you have any pointer about this ?
As far as using WebDAV-without-additional-tool on Windows, I also seem to 
recall that this was highly dependent on which Windows version you're using; 
some of them being more WebDAV-friendly than others ...

Well, at first sight, the Jackrabbit API seemed nice too. And it IS nice, it 
just wasn't *exactly* what we needed. But thanks for the pointer, we'll try to 
have a look one of these days; or you should too. I'm pretty sure if you had a 
piece of code to convince us, that would help ;)

Cheers,
