Type the location you want to view, similar to a <acronym class="acronym">HTTP</acronym> <acronym class="acronym">URL</acronym> except for the webdav:// protocol name at the start. An example is <strong class="userinput"><code>webdav://<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="replaceable"><em class="replaceable"><code>www.hostname.com/path/</code></em></span></code></strong>.
