Jukka Zitting resolved JCR-3076.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.3.0
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
Fixed in revision 1173118 by allowing the webdav client to continue without
repository descriptors if accessing them would require authentication.
A more complete fix would also modify the webdav server to always allow
repository descriptor report requests without authentication, but that would
require non-trivial changes to the way requests are currently being processed
in the webdav server. Doing that would allow clients to access repository
descriptors even if repository access otherwise is blocked only to
authenticated clients. Let's handle that as a possible followup issue.
