    Description

      I was trying to use the Webdav repository to connect a ownCloud Instance with Moodle. The Repository showed no files. However when I increased the variable $_maxheaderlenth of the lib/mywebdavlib.php from 1000 to 65536 it worked.
      I did that due to this tip https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=327423.
      I am not a experienced programmer, so correct me if this fix might bring some security issues. Otherwise I would be happy to see it implemented in the next Moodle Version.
