Okay, not talking about the ssl/nonssl. BUT... Why are there two

for auth with 401. But this doubles the needed requests.
Why not sending the auth on every request after the server asks the
first time for the credentials. I don't know how this could trigger
security problems as long as the ssl cert getting validated. Because
it is just a https://user:[email protected] and would save lots
of requests.
This "useless" 401 requests are causing really heavy overhead when
syncing folders with many (small) subfolders/files.
I know this is bad style http, but we know where auth is needed. So i
think it is worth the bad style, if we could save these expected 401
requests.
You should see the duplicated PROPFIND only once on startup, and once
(!) for every sync run. I think in the light of an average sync process,
one additional call per sync hardly matters. If you see two accesses per
every file, that would be a bug.
