 Hi,

 I was trying to connect to an apache hosted webdav server and was getting
 the following error:


 {{{
 Not a valid DAV response

 }}}

 After listing the dav contents using firefox to enumerate the dav url I
 found that there was a filename with the '&' character in it (literally
 ''H&H5678''). Firefox was displaying the character correctly, and clicking
 on it returned the contents of the file.

 Cyberduck was unable to list to the folder contents, I suspect becuase
 GetDirectoryList barfs on the specially encoded xml characters like the
 ampersand.

 When I renamed the file (using the application admin UI) to remove the '&'
 cyberduck was abe to connect to it.
