Hi Ray,

>>You can tell WebdavResource not to do the default lookups,
How do I do this ? I went through the API but did not find something
close to do this.

>>but you end up having other problems in that case.
Can I set to 'do not load property' before calling setPath(), then set
to 'load property' before calling exists() ?

thanks
lixin
