Note that there is no authentication on http protocol - this is expected to be
done by the permissions on the socket.
### Symlinks / Junction points
The webdav protocol does not support symlinks or junction points and
by default rclone will skip them completely.
You can use ` + "`-L`" + ` to get rclone to follow symlinks or you can
use ` + "`--local-links`" + ` to make rclone show ` + "`.rclonelink`" + `
files in place of the symlinks.
**NB** Do not use ` + "`--links`" + ` as since v1.69 this applies to
the VFS layer too, use ` + "`--local-links`" + ` which only applies to
the local backend only.
