Joerg Schaible commented on VFS-180:
------------------------------------

> in the end i would like to point to the webdav/ssl support feature :) 

Same here. When slide was retired the webdav implementation of jackrabbit was 
explicitly mentioned as replacement. So I thought it would be a little more 
than just some interfaces. However, I did not have a look yet, but wanted to 
prevent anyone from striking a dead horse.

Note, that slide was also retired because no developer was there to fix 
security issues and therefore the retirement was the better alternative. 
Although I really like to have the webdav support in VFS, as a release manager 
it would scare me to include it into a final VFS release with open security 
issues :-/

> The Slide Webdav lib supports encrypted HTTPS connections. So it should be 
> possible to add https support to vfs too. currently the webdav provider 
> creates http urls (in WebdavClientFactory.java).
> maybe some provider like 'webdavs' could be added to switch to HttpsUrl.
