Hi Philip,

Windows support for WebDAV is notoriously bad, but it does offer more than discussed here.

I've spent quite some time getting it all to work, and I've documented my progress on our wiki:
https://wiki.zonehosting.nl/wiki/display/public/WebDAV+clients

From Windows XP and up it is possible to mount a webdav repostory as a 'local drive' allowing text editing and other useful stuff.

There are a lot of bugs/issues depending on the version of the webdav client, but I've gotten it to work reliably on XP and 2003.

I hope my examples/fixes work out for you, since it's quite a nice feature to have once it's all up and running.

Regards,

Jop Zinkweg

Is there anything wrong somewhere that might cause the text file not
editable? And is there anything else for me to do to make text files
editable besides mounting differently as I described above?

That's a Windows issue, not a Jackrabbit issue. It applies to *any*
WebDAV server.

The answer: the MS Webfolder client is just an explorer extension; you
can browse folders, delete files, copy and move files around, that's it.
Everything else beyond that depends on the Windows application
supporting WebDAV directly -- for instance, MS Office does, most others
don't.

BR, Julian
