[SNIP changes to a Java WebDAV client]

Note that your changes only work for objects that support the document_src
methods. It may be that now or in the future other objects require you to use
a different method to retirve the unrendered source.

I'd still be better if you could find out if there are WebDAV properties about
the resource accessible in that piece of code, check for the source link, and
if present, use that instead of the original URL. Such a change can then be
used on other WebDAV servers prividing the source link as well, and can be
included in the original client sources.
