--- Comment #10 from Giuseppe Castagno (aka beppec56)

This is what happens under the hood

On Windows 7 there is a service installed, the WebClient service (sometimes
called MiniRedir), that carries out the interface work with WebDAV, the the
acces to WebDAV is made through UNC.

In the case described by this issue LibO tries to access the UNC provided using
the local filesystem.

Observing the Wireshark logs we registered, it appears that Windows tries to
access the remote share first using Lanmanager protocols (SMB)
then by using the WebClient service.

The WebClient service checks the remote share to see if it lives on a
Sharepoint server, in this case it takes care of the handshaking and perform
all that is needed to manage the resource on WebDAV, while presenting it to the
requesting application, in this case LibO, as if it where a
local file system resource.
