I agree that Brian's proposal is a good idea.

Hi Brian, that proposal sounds very good to me. Could it be enhanced in a way that we can add an "add automatic extension when served by webdav". What I mean by that is that an object without extension is "seen" as having say .html appended to it when it is access by webdav. So we can use all these extension based web authoring tools without changing the python way of doing things.
This wouldn't work very well for two reasons:
1. Sites like ours use a mix of DTML, Python Scripts and other things. It would make some sense to map the DTML method register_user to register_user.html but the Python Script would want to be register_user.py.
Since a "show yourself as .html" should be configurable on a per folder or per dtml-method/document instance base python scripts would never be bothered. In fact I think only ZPTemplates will ever need such a mapping. ZPT is such much nicer than DTML that soon no new sites will be done not using it. Templates alredy have a half hearted such mapping (as explained in the tutorial which is reachable from the Zope home page). It just does not seam to work for non *nix computers. Robert
2. The object on a Zope site already contain type information that can and should be leveraged for outgoing access.
My first cut suggestion would be to implement a separate outgoing mapping table driven by the object's meta-type attribute (with provision for CMF to override this to use it's different notion of type).

Some additional issues when using the CMF:
- There is this really great idea that you can create a news item by
just
posting a MyNews.news file to your Member folder. The first problem is that Word does not let you save an HTML file as ".news", so we changed the rules in CMF and upload "news_MyNews.htm" files
FYI - I have a proposal that could also be used to address this. It would be great to get some feedback on it:
