So I've got a WebDAV share on a virtual machine that I'm running on my laptop. I want to connect to it via emacs, edit a file, then save it. Unfortunately, TRAMP keeps giving me an error whenever I try to connect to the file. The error is "Host #blah# looks like a remote host, `dav' can only use the local host". The connection string (only lightly anonymized) I'm using is "/dav:10.0.6.12#8000:/folder/another/weeee/doc.txt".

Can you not just mount it locally? Then you wouldn't even have to use TRAMP. – Thomas Feb 16 '12 at 00:39

Yeah, it's mounted locally through Windows, but it's freaking slow. I was hoping that there was a speedier plug-in to emacs that would let me work with files over WebDAV. I really shouldn't have specified TRAMP, because I'll take just about anything. I've tried using eldav (after compiling nd under Cygwin), but whenever I try to open a file in emacs (using the ":http ://share/folder/file.blah" syntax eldav recognizes), nd throws up, drops a stacktrace (which has almost no useful information), then dies, leaving emacs with a buffer showing that an error occurred. Very frustrating. – Lee Crabtree Feb 16 '12 at 04:43
