Re: [basex-talk] Shouldn't CHOP = false make xml:space="preserve" the default behavior?

I agree that it might be reasonable to introduce different defaults for WebDAV communication. Problems could arise if documents are opened with WebDAV that have been stored via REST or another API… But we could give it a try. On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 11:28 PM, Andy Bunce

Re: [basex-talk] Shouldn't CHOP = false make xml:space="preserve" the default behavior?

It seems globally setting `indent=no` gets applied to WebDAV (and everywhere else where serialization is not explicit specified). This would be my preference for WebDAV, as it means documents can be round-tripped without any changes being introduced. The only side effect from this setting I have

Hi Andy, > Can the WebDAV serialization be set independently of the default, in > web.xml? The defaults for whitespace chopping and serialization can only be assigned globally for all features of BaseX. Did you try to set both 'org.basex.chop' and 'org.basex.serializer' in web.xml / does it
