This is not an issue in the WebDAV code itself, but an issue of the Apache version we have in front of our Intranet (that's where Guillaume has tested). We are waiting for some free time from Raffaello to upgrade our Apache to fix this. We are also not operationnal on Windows XP on our intranet because we have not installed the Home Web app that Asiri has build to allow compatiblity with Windows XP WebDav redirector. Unfortunately the setup of WebDAV is constraining and as I studied there is nothing we can do to make it more simpler than what we did currently.
