WebDav Displayname property missing

Question

I have a problem with this WebDavClient library for C#. I use the following code to establish a connection to a SVN repository:

using (var webdavClient = new WebDavClient())
{
    var result = await webdavClient.Propfind(uri);
    if (result.IsSuccessful)
    {
      ....
    }
 }

After debugging through the C#-library, the actual request seems to work fine. However, there is no displayname property delivered, and I have no idea why the displayname property is missing in the response from the server. The response I get from the server looks like this:

<lp1:response xmlns:V="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/" xmlns:S="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/svn/" xmlns:C="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/custom/" xmlns:lp1="DAV:" xmlns:lp2="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/">

A few months back, WebDav-Library was working as expected, but now, however, I can't get it to work anymore. Do you have any suggestions where to look at or what might have gone wrong?

Answer 1

The DAV:displayname property is fully optional. Why would SVN return it, if it's going to match the last part of the path name anyway?
