I have setup sitecopy to fetch down content from a remote DAV server
over https, and hit a number of issues:

- I found that the --fetch command requests a Depth: Infinity PROPFIND (
maybe other commands do as well ). This is disabled by default on
apache2 servers, and the server logs aren't likely to tell you anything.
I had to get sitecopy running with --debug=httpbody to spot it.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dav.html#davdepthinfinity

- then sitecopy was aborting with NE_SSL_UNTRUSTED and NE_SSL_IDMISMATCH
errors, because the SSL certificate name didn't match server IP. While I
appreciate being warned about this, I know everything is fine and
sitecopy should continue connecting. ( this happens if you cert uses an
internal server name, and you use an IP to access for instance ).

I have hacked out the error checks from my sitecopy build, but a real
fix would be nice :)
