@taiyed I was just able to reproduce this error while testing Flock compatability with OwnCloud which uses SabreDAV. Changing the namespace from "org.anhonesteffort.flock" to "http://org.anhonesteffort.flock/ns" seems to resolve the issue (ie no BAD REQUEST response).

Maybe this is all that's required to get Flock working with SabreDAV? I don't know, right now I'm trying to get OwnCloud happy-- will move to SabreDAV next, just thought I'd check in.

@rhodey I appreciate the response. Will this be added to the next update? If this change is included I can continue testing SabreDAV.

XML namespaces are supposed to be absolute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace#Namespace_declaration

SabreDAV is correct to reject this one.

@rhodey Would addressing this by changing line 35 of OwsWebDav.java resolve the issue?
