Identifier	#3113
Issue type	Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)
Title	WebDav: filedump problems
Status	Closed (no changes needed)
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	General / Uncategorised
Description	Data for the /filedump directory is presented in JSON format instead of raw file format like I think it should. As a result, downloading files from the filedump become corrupted, and uploading files to the filedump "fail" (the file gets created but has no data in it).
Steps to reproduce
Funded?	No

Update: Problem only exists for /filedump, but not for /home, which seems to be working filedump duplicate.

By design. Will document.

There are other tracking issues for allowing better import via the repository, but at the basic level this mount exists to provide the meta-data bundled along with the file. Allows inter-site copying for example.
