True. But in Zope 2 times one usually asked on the list first. This 
might be a bug or just a configuration issue. So why should I file a 
collector issue first?

Sorry. Here it is:

Well, this is not Zope 2. And in Zope X3 I don't have a clue how to 
track down something like this (yet). I'll try anyway.

Yes, it's there. And it's also configured in etc/package-includes ...

Well, at least I know now that WebDAV is supposed to work on the HTTP 
port ...
