 Please note that the file size of XML documents will be displayed as 0 bytes, as the actual file size can only be determined if the full document is being returned and serialized. This may cause problems with some WebDAV clients (e.g., NetDrive or WebDrive).

 '''Note:''' WebDAV locks are stored in a database called <code>~webdav</code>. If the database is deleted, it will automatically be recreated along with the next lock operations. If a resource remains locked, it can be unlocking by removing the correspondent <code><w:lockinfo></code> entry.

 This page presents one of the [[Web Application]] services. It describes how to use the WebDAV file system interface.
-BaseX offers access to the databases and documents using the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdav WebDAV] protocol. WebDAV provides convenient means to access and edit XML documents by representing BaseX databases and documents in the form of a file system hierarchy.

 The implementation in BaseX is based on the [http://milton.io Milton library]. Currently, only Basic Authentication is supported.
