since word is a (the most ??) important content creation tool for non programmers would it not be sensible to add a second WebDAV port that does nothing but handle the Word idiosyncrasies and the forwards things to the normal DAV port?
I would very much like to tell my customers that they do not need anything but word to maintain their content.
But still we'd first have to find out WHAT is going wrong, as Zope seems to comply with the standard and Word doesn't ... I think all the software needed for a test can be got from Microsoft for a free testing period (some of them up to 120 days). Their most prominent example of a WebDAV server is the SharePoint Portal server. The MS Exchange repository also is WebDAV-enabled ... I am sorry that I'll probably not be the one to do the tests because of time restrictions. Joachim
