It may be that the login request is not getting back to you intact. Do you have another app that is protected and triggers a login prompt?
Web Folders works without problems when Tomcat is running on localhost. The password dialog pops up just fine.
I use Firefox to browse the directory of http://www.example.com/webapp/webdav/ using GET, which goes through my WebDAV servlet. Firefox pops up an authentication dialog and, after I enter the correct username and password, displays a directory list generated by my WebDAV servlet.
I use DavExplorer 0.90 to open http://www.example.com/webapp/webdav/ . DavExplorer pops up a DIGEST authentication dialog and, after I enter the correct username and password, allows me to access the entire WebDAV tree.
I use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to browse to http://www.example.com/webapp/webdav/ using HTTP GET. After a dialog pops up and I enter the correct username and password, the WebDAV servlet-generated directory list appears.
Still using MS IE 6, I try to open http://www.example.com/webapp/webdav/ as a Web Folder using File|Open... (as Web Folder). IE reports that it is unable to open the location as a Web Folder---would I like to see the default view? If I answer in the affirmative, IE sends a GET and shows me the directory listing.
Why is MS Web Folders doing this strange OPTIONS thing with "/" and ignoring my 401 Unauthorized HTTP response?
If all else fails, would form auth over SSL work? Just a thought, yeah I know, and so are nightmares.
Form authorization with WebDAV?
But the answer is no---I want to find out what this isn't working.
Thanks anyway!
