When it was enabled, I tested it with cadaver. That was the only way I
knew I'd set up WebDAV correctly since I have no experience with it :)
The Arch Wiki had a section on testing and so I persisted until
successful. So, yes, confusing -- cadaver worked, the browser on the
host worked after inputting username/password into a popup, and the
same for the browser on the tablet. Only org-mobile said it couldn't
access the checksum.dat file.

Thanks for the suggestion,
John
