Hi there,
I would like to merge the fix for issue #1441 into the 2.10 branch. It restores a 'feature' that was removed almost 35 months ago,
Any idea why it was removed?
The issue title should say it all, but here it goes: Zope used to send a "MS-Author-Via: DAV" header, which in old versions of Microsoft Office would cause Word to be fired and try to lock the file and then open it, which if the user was an anonymous user would prevent the file download. Recently (Jan 2005 and May 2007) Microsoft fixed this issue by updating the "WebFolders" implementation. Also recent versions of Microsoft Office don't have this issue either. The patch adds back the "MS-Author-Via: DAV" header for compatibility with old versions of WebFolders, but with a toggle on zope.conf, default to off. It also adds a "Public: ..." header, for compatibility with *new* versions of WebFolders, which now require it, with another separate toggle in zope.conf, also default to off. -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214
