Aha! I got Web Folders to work when pointed to a Zope/Zserver on the same
machine, so the problem is probably with the servers I tried to point to
first. I found an explanation in an earlier email on this list: the attempt
to access _vti_bin is an attempt by Web Folders to see if the server
supports FrontPage extensions. It tries this if it thinks the server does
not support WebDAV. It might think a Zope/Apache server doesn't support
WebDAV if Apache doesn't have the patches necessary to let the WebDAV
inquiry pass thru to Zope. The patches are described at
http://www.zope.org/Members/Brian/Misc/mod_cgi_webdav_patch.html.
Hope that helps the next person that tries this. BTW, everything you ever
wanted to know about WebDAV is at http://www.webdav.org/.
