Windows XP as webdav client hangs while accessing any non-IIS webdav server
Dear All,
We are facing some strange problems while accessing a webdav share from windows XP as
client.
1) Occasionally the windows explorer window hangs while accessing one of the webdav
shares and that window recovers once i open a new windows explorer window and access
the same share or a different share. This behaviour is the same whle accessing the
webdav server of tomcat as well as the webdav server that we have written ourselves.
So it is clearly a client problem. Was wondering whether any of webdav user also has
faced similar problems and if there is a patch in Windows XP for this issue?
2) Sometimes access to webdav shares from windows XP client throws up this error ( see
attached file). After sometime we are able to access the same share easily. Any clue
on what could this be?
3) Sometimes , after error 2 happens, the selection of a different folder from the
webdav server simply is rejected and the focus goes back to the original folder which
was selected at the end of point 2.

Any inputs on how to solve these problems is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
regards
Mahesh

RE: Windows XP as webdav client hangs while accessing any non-IIS webdav server
The URL /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc is what IE goes looking for if it doesn't recognise the response from a WEBDav compliant server. I have seen similar problems on TC5 in the past around 302 redirects from, for example, http://localhost/webdav to http://localhost/webdav/. Using a servlet mapping of /* rather than / seemed to fix things. I haven't seen this on TC4 but try it and see if it helps. My XP box that I do Tomcat dev on is fully patched and I haven't seen this for a while. Whether those facts are related is anybody's guess ;) Mark -Original Message- From: Sundaram Mahesh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 7:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Windows XP as webdav client hangs while accessing any non-IIS webdav server Dear All, We are facing some strange problems while accessing a webdav share from windows XP as client. 1) Occasionally the windows explorer window hangs while accessing one of the webdav shares and that window recovers once i open a new windows explorer window and access the same share or a different share.
