The main issue to check is the support for DAV. File should act as a 
terminating leaf from DAV point of view but should behave as a folder to 
support local roles.

This probably requires to set the inheritance of webdav related methods on 
the File class.

I advise to use konqueror or cadaver to test webdav. If a folder which 
contains files appears as empty from webdav point of view, it usually means 
that some exception was caught, for example the exception related to file 
size.
