FWIW, I believe this should be supported based on reading the code. That was 
my first thought, but it is doing an urllib.unquote(), which handles that.

However, the matching code in the webdav backend definitely assumes that the 
file urls will be host-relative; that is, that they start with the directory:

if filename.startswith(self.directory):
  filename = filename.replace(self.directory,'',1)
  result.append(filename)

This is almost certainly the problem.

Is anyone familiar enough with WebDAV to say off the top of your head what the 
correct interpretation is here? It should not be a huge problem to add 
support for absolute URL:s, but it would help to have some background on the 
protocol.

Obviously one can just read up on it; I haven't yet, but just wanted to send 
off the note that the above seems to be the problem.
