[Zope-dev] problem with using webDAV between MS Word and Zope

[Wayne Glover]

hi all,

i am using plone 3+ with zope ope-2.10.5-final

I am trying to use webDAV between Word and Zope.  This works fine for OO  
(yes i know - don't use Word!  Not an option)

I have searched far and wide and have found the 'solution' at  
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope2/+bug/143725) however, i can't get it to  
work for me with this installation

The changes suggested by the bug fix at the link are as follows:

*** /usr/local/zope-2.8.4/lib/python/webdav/Resource.py	2006-06-13

           RESPONSE.setHeader('Allow', ', '.join(self.__http_methods__))
           RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Length', 0)
- 	RESPONSE.setHeader('MS-Author-Via', 'DAV')
           RESPONSE.setHeader('DAV', '1,2', 1)
           RESPONSE.setStatus(200)
           return RESPONSE

Note that what it is doing is forcing a response of 'MS-Author-Via', 'DAV')

what this is supposed to do is force Word to accept webDAV vs. it's only  
silly thing.  good in theory, but i couldn't get it to work

After revising the file on the zope server, i then tried Word webDAV.  I  
monitored the network traffic to look for the OPTIONS response telling  
Word to use webDAV.  see attached txt file which has tcp stream while i  
tried to save .doc file.    Note that, in the above change, the  
"RESPONSE.setHeader ('MS-Author-Via', 'DAV') is supposed to be returned by  
Zope to force Word to work with webDAV, but this does not happen.

This has been driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note:  i have attached the zope 'resource.py' as i have modified it based  
on the above link.  plz let me know if you can see what is wrong.


Thanks,
