Hi,
A friend of mine told me that he saw this sort of thing working, where he did not use a link object with the http protocol, but with the file protocol. So <a href="file://webdav.somedomain.com/filepath/file.doc">document</a> worked for him. This has not been tested by me though.
if it works, please give a shout.
kind regards

Thanks.
I understand why it's not working, I was just hoping against all hopes that their might be some way into 'tricking' IE and/or Windows into passing an URL to the Office product instead of saving the file locally and then passing the local file name. There are so many situations when this kind of behavior would be desirable.

When you open it with IE you are NOT using WebDAV, you
are just doing an HTTP get of the file, no different really than from any
other HTTP server. To use WebDAV you need to open it from a Web
Folder (Technically you could do it from the File->Open in
Word....but I digress).
To do that you go to your "Network Places", then "Add New Network Place" and put in the URL you were using to the Slide folder where your document is.
After you authenticate you will be able to use Microsoft
Office products to open then with WebDAV and save your changes back. The
document will be locked while you have it open and will be unlocked
when you close it.

Hi,
Excuse me if this question isn't 100% slide related, but
perhaps someone
can give me some help.
I'm trying to use slide and webdav to access documents
through a browser
(specifically Internet Explorer 5 +, although I haven't
had much luck
using Konqueror either). The problem is, is that when I
click on a link
to retrieve an MS Office document, the correct
application is opened but
the MS Office application is editing a temporary file
(e.g.
/tmp/MyDoc.doc) instead of a webdav url
(https://slide.mydomain.org/myDocs/MyDoc.doc). That
means that you can
view and edit the document, but when you save it it is
simply saved in
the local file system instead of being sent back to the
server.
Ideally I would like to click on the link, edit the
document in the
proper application and then save it directly back to the
server.
Is there any way to get this to work? Perhaps by
sending some kind of
special information in the header? Or is there some way
to configure
Windoze to handle things differently?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me,
Eric
