Please point me to the section of the WebDAV RFC which states that.  
Uniqueness is only specified for relative URLs.
A name is just a name, not an identifier or key. Just like in RL.


Anyway, the appropriate forum to resolve this is the official WebDAV  
mailing list. Please move there if you want to further discuss this  
(I'm on that list too).


http://www.greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-rfc2518bis- 
latest.html#rfc.section.15.2

"While generic clients might display the property value to end users,
  client UI designers must understand that the method for identifying
  resources is still the URL. "

and more importantly:

"Two resources can have the same DAV:displayname value even within
  the same collection."

I understand how it works and I also understand the motivation behind  
it, thanks. And I outlined why this is a bug.
No offense intended though. IMHO its very nice software :-)

Si.

Thanks,
