The client hasn't installed SP2 but I am working on a M$ DRM conspiracy theory - weird though it may seem. When the html files are uploaded I can see the OPTIONS, PROPFIND, PUT, etc log entries for the .html files, but for the .gif files - nothing, zip, zero, zilch, gets logged. Slight correction - only PROPFIND for the relevant directory. And nothing in the error.log file either. I have no problem when I upload the .gifs using the same login but from W2K or cadaver. I can't try with WXP myself as I don't run it. > Glen -- Howard.
