Hmm, I'll have to take a look at that. I got one (www.fwi.com:8080) from
the W3 web site, which seems to work (OPTIONS shows that it supports
PROPFIND and the like), but not with MSIE5.

Well, the reason I wanted to use MSIE as an example client, is because it
partially did what I was looking for in that WebFolders treats a web site,
as a local filesystem. Sitecopy does not AFAIK, it just mirrors stuff.
I'm not necesarily looking for code, but an example interface, although
I've got a few ideas, and still no real idea on how to handle XML parsing
(Another kdelib? Ew).

Well, I've got Win98 (came with the system) and haven't deleted it. I
still contend that Win98 in all its ghastly bloat really has a few good
ideas, very poorly implemented however.

Sort answer: no I don't think so. The slaves aren't designed to be
stacked AFAIK. I guess it'll just go into kio_http.
