[Zope] Extensionless Zope Objects in Dreamweaver MX

[Nguyen Quan Son]

I have found a solution to this problem by patching webdav/davcmds.py and ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py. See diff files below.
How it works: Zope appends "appropriate" extensions to object's URL (according to meta_type and content_type) when it sends a
response to webdav client, and strips these extensions when it got a request from the client.
