I have a similar problem (not sure if it is the same). When I browse the webdav server from windows xp some, seemingly random folders don't show up, while others do. When i browse from linux with cadaver all folders show up, but when i try to ls in the folders that didn't show up in windows xp I get the following error from cadaver: "XML parse error at line 771: xmlParseEntityRef: no name ."

Hi,

Characters must be URI-escaped and XML-escaped before they are put into DAV:href element of a XML document (e.g. a PROPFIND response). But in mod_webdav, they are not:

#!c
         buffer_append_string(b,"<D:href>");
         buffer_append_string_buffer(b, con->uri.scheme);
         buffer_append_string(b,"://");
         buffer_append_string_buffer(b, con->uri.authority);
         buffer_append_string_buffer(b, con->uri.path);
         buffer_append_string(b,"</D:href>\n");

Here's a thread discussing character escaping in Apache's mod_dav:
http://mailman.lyra.org/pipermail/dav-dev/2003-June/004761.html

You can see how Apache mod_dav does it by downloading its source and check mod_dav.c -> dav_send_multistatus() -> dav_xml_escape_uri():

#!c
         ap_rputs(DEBUG_CR "<D:href>", r);
         ap_rputs(dav_xml_escape_uri(r->pool, first->href), r);
         ap_rputs("</D:href>" DEBUG_CR, r); 

And, for your convenience, here's mod_dav's source:

My previous patch fixed the bug by encoding some characters, but I'm not sure whether the list of characters encoded is complete or not.

http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/attachment/ticket/266/uri_escape.diff

buffer_append_string_uri_encoded() is the same as buffer.c::buffer_append_string_url_encoded(), except that '/' is not encoded.

I've tested it a bit. Filenames with spaces inside can now be displayed correctly at client side (OS X 10.4.3).

Thank you.
