Hello. I'm evaluating Zope for use as our department's web server. Preferably, I'd like Zope to be the only server, but a seemingly-insignificant issue has made that prospect unlikely. I currently have a test Zope server running on a Win2k machine. The version numbers follow: Zope Version (Zope 2.5.1 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.3, win32) Python Version 2.1.3 (#35, Apr 8 2002, 17:47:50) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] When our web designer uses Dreamweaver to update the web site, she typically has it upload the entire site and Dreamweaver uses the file modification time to determine which files should be replaced and which should be left alone. Unfortunately, when you upload a file via WebDAV or FTP, the "last modified" time gets changed to the Zope server's time. Which prompts the following questions: 1) Is there away to get Zope to emulate the standard behavior of FTP/WebDAV services without delving into the source code? 2) Ok, where do I look in the source code? 3) Can this behavior be an option in a future version of Zope? Secondly, there seems to be some issue with how Zope FTP/WebDav reports the file modification time. Using Windows' WebFolders WebDAV interface shows the modification times as the same time zone as the machine the Zope server is running (PST). But with Dreamweaver's WebDAV and other FTP clients add 7 hours to the modification time. Yes, this puts it in GMT/UTC, which is of course the proper way to store such information, but somehow the clients see it as the local time zone + 7 hours. Meanwhile, the same clients translate the time zone just fine with other standard FTP/WebDAV servers. Is this a bug? Both of these issues make our webmaster very cranky. If she can't determine which copy of many copies is the most recently modified, she must rely on memory to figure out which of the 1,200 files needs updating. If we can't transition gradually from a standard WebDav/FTP site management to some spiffy site management system in Zope, then chances are we won't use Zope at all. While I'd prefer to do web application development with Zope, I won't be the primary person doing the development, so this "minor" inconvenience makes Zope extremely hard to sell. Any help would be appreciated. --Chad Eberle, Database Specialist Evans School of Public Affairs at the U of WA 109 Parrington Hall Box 353055 Seattle, WA 98195 USA
