I think this can only work when WebDAV uses the normal HTTP port.

In this case, Powerpoint uses the login page as resource content. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
