WTF? First of all, Webfolders is buggy because it should always be
including the trailing slash. How the brainiacs at Microsoft got that
one wrong is beyond me -- I personally explained to them that Apache
returns a 301 on any directory without a slash because those are two
different resources and ONLY the one with the slash is a collection.
The other URL is not a collection.
Greg, the change is wrong, but I suppose we can leave it in for now.
Unfortunately, the HTTP spec overspecified the constraint on redirecting
request methods -- it is perfectly safe for a user agent to automatically
handle a redirect for a read-only method like OPTIONS. I expected that
the WebDAV spec would have made that clear, but it doesn't, so I'll have
to send it to the http-wg.
I suppose you have already informed the webfolders dudes that their
code is buggy.
