Perhaps someone who will admit to using Win2K can confirm this? It might even motivate me to upgrade from NT . I'm using Win2000 at work. Opening a webdav folder works, so does renaming or moving objects around. Copying from a local folder to a remote zope works too. But the reverse direction results in a "Error Copying File or Folder: An error occured while copying the file. The requested header was not found" sometimes. Copying a different file got me "The current operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occured". Thanks for the feedback on Win2K. A Bristol colleague reports: "I can't currently get it to work under Win2k (keeps prompting me for the location of webfldrs.msi) ..." In short, it's too buggy for doing real work. Yeah - I thought the problems had been sorted under Win98 - but I re-discovered this gotcha (which I was getting under NT4): you can copy .htm files TO Zope but not back again. And changing the file name and/or extension doesn't offer a workaround.

RE: [Zope] Win98 and WEBDAV - you ought to see it if you can
Aha! I got Web Folders to work when pointed to a Zope/Zserver on the same machine, so the problem is probably with the servers I tried to point to first. I found an explanation in an earlier email on this list: the attempt to access _vti_bin is an attempt by Web Folders to see if the server supports FrontPage extensions. It tries this if it thinks the server does not support WebDAV. It might think a Zope/Apache server doesn't support WebDAV if Apache doesn't have the patches necessary to let the WebDAV inquiry pass thru to Zope. The patches are described at http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/Misc/mod_cgi_webdav_patch.html. Hope that helps the next person that tries this. BTW, everything you ever wanted to know about WebDAV is at http://www.webdav.org/. -- Loren -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rik Hoekstra Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 08:48 To: Loren Stafford; Paul Browning; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Zope] Win98 and WEBDAV - you ought to see it if you can When I try to "Add a Web Folder" on Win98 I get a 404 error on the resource _vti_bin both on my own web sites and on www.zope.org. Any idea why or what is _vti_bin? Yes, it is (one of the) the dreaded Frontpage extension(s). Why you would get it and someone else wouldn't ... I don't know. Perhaps you have MS products that use FP extensions (Frontpage, Interdev, whatever) installed?
