this is true. i tried to acces zope on my local machine at the address

        http://localhost:9673/

(note: *without* the manage!) and nautilus showed me everything. both
mozilla and netscape show the welcome page. if i add manage nautilus
simply refuse to authenticate. my impression is that even if http:
is specified, nautilus uses some other kind of protocol (webdav?)
to read the contents of the url.

the bad thing is that you can read (not modify) every single document
in the zope db. 

ciao,
