<subsection name="Introduction">
- <p>Microsoft operating systems have two WebDAV clients. One is used with
- port 80, the other is used for all other ports. The implementation used
with
- port 80 does not adhere to the WebDAV specification and fails when trying
to
- communicate with the Tomcat WebDAV Servlet. This Filter provides a fix for
- this by forcing the use of the WebDAV implementation that works, even when
- connecting via port 80.</p>
+ <p>This filter was written for Windows NT era Microsoft operating systems
+ that shipped with WebDAV clients that were not compliant with the RFC. This
+ filter is no longer required for current WebDAV clients provided by current
+ (Windows 10 / Windows Server 2012 onwards) Windows operating systems. It
has
+ been deprecated and will be removed in Tomcat 11 onwards.
