WebDAV strategy: get all / only necessary properties

by **M_Meyer** on Fri Jan 11, 2013 8:05 am

I am syncing some folders with many files (>2000) via WebDAV.
Reading the file list and downloading it takes some time.
Would it help to change the WebDAV strategy from "get all properties" to "get only necessary properties"?
What is the difference between the 2?
What effect would a change have?

Yes it could be faster because the server would report fewer unnecessary details.

There is no functional difference. The original reason for this option was compatibility. With some servers, only one of the strategies works.

Just tried it - wow, much faster, took only 1/3 of the original time.
Thanks for the help!
