Re: Webdav Servlet
Hi, Hi there ! today I looked through the webdav servlet. Now I have two questions: On an OPTIONS request the header is not containing the "MS-Author-Via: DAV" line. I just had a brief look at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2518.txt and guess what I could not find any reference for an "MS-Author-Via: DAV" HTTP header field being required by a WebDAV implementation. Could you please provide a reference to where in the WebDAV related standards this has been defined ? Section 9.1 of rfc2518 though very clearly describes a required DAV: Header that could be used by WebDAV clients to detect wether a resource is a WebDAV resource. So the MS webdav tools will try the frontpage extensions first. That's a problem of the MS webdav tools, not using the "DAV:" header for detection but instead expecting a Microsoft Products only non standardized header parameter, isn't it ? If this header line would be added to (unneeded) requests would be omitted. [...] Bye, Ulf Bye, Bernd - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Webdav Servlet
Hi, and guess what I could not find any reference for an "MS-Author-Via: DAV" HTTP header field being required by a WebDAV implementation. I think it is just an MS extension. So it's not required. But it also should not cause any harm if you add it. Could you please provide a reference to where in the WebDAV related standards this has been defined ? I have seen it the first time in the webdav module in apache. That's a problem of the MS webdav tools, not using the "DAV:" header for detection but instead expecting a Microsoft Products only non standardized header parameter, isn't it ? Yes, I agree entirely with you. Especially since MS was involved in the webdav standardization process... But unfortunately most of the current webdav clients are MS products and these programs expect this additional header. If you can reduce useless requests to the server by adding this line, don't you think it would be a good thing?

It's definitely not a standard header. However, that's a very interesting explanation. I also noticed that the latest versions of the Webfolders didn't try to access Frontpage style URLs anymore, so apparently MS adopted a more standard behavior.
