WebDav/davfs mounted file & directory names in all UPPERCASE
Hey,

I have a WebDav directory mounted and everything seems fine except for one thing. All file/directory names appear in all UPPERCASE, when in actual fact they are lowercase on the remote machine.

For example:
foo/bar/baz.html on the remote host, appears on my local machine as
FOO/BAR/BAZ.HTML
I can open and edit the file fine, but when I save it, it is renamed on the remote host as
foo/bar/BAZ.HTML
which subsequently breaks an references to that file being made elsewhere.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, as this is my first experience with WebDav. I am using davfs to mount the directory as a normal user.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Mike

showmount

showmount(1M)															     showmount(1M)

NAME

       showmount - show all remote mounts

SYNOPSIS

       [host]

DESCRIPTION

       lists  all  clients  that  have	remotely  mounted  a  file  system  from  host.  This information is maintained by the server on host (see
       mountd(1M)).  The default value for host is the value returned by (see hostname(1)).

   Options
       Print all remote mounts in the format

	    where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the file system that has been mounted.

       List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.

       Print the list of shared file systems.

WARNINGS

       If a client crashes, executing on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted.	In other words, stale entries  may
       accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.

       Also,  if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in Doing a of one of these directories removes the single
       entry and no longer indicates that the remote directory is mounted.
