 having made my own content type which is derived from Document with  
 three additional attributes, I've moved onto the exciting world of  
 editing content via webDAV. It seems some methods have to be extended/ 
 overwritten for this to work so I have added customised versions of  
 the following
 getMetadataHeaders() # Document.py
 setMetadata() # Document.py
 getMetadataHeaders() # DublinCore.py
 _editMetaData() # DublinCore.py

 Is this a correct assumption?
 
 I would be quite surprised if these methods had much to do
 with WebDAV editing. Instead, I would look for PROPPATCH
 (and how it is implemented).

The methods Charlie lays out are used to crack metadata from the body
of a content object (Document, NewsItem, Event) during a PUT.  PROPPATCH
would indeed be the way to modify the values without re-uploading the body.

I'm a bit confused! (Not for the first time!) The changes I've  
implemented are working for us: we're editing documents in the WebDAV  
file system using text/HTML editors. As it's not just the meta-data  
that may be changed I assume that we have to upload everything on  
saving. I am however, worried about the fact about possible encoding  
issues similar to what happens if you edit attributes such as  
description in the ZMI rather than in the CMF and use non-ascii get  
problems is this likely to happen here as well?
