I am having trouble getting webdav to work through ssh tunnels. I hope someone may be able to offer a suggestion.
running zope 2.7.4 on FreeBSD 4.9 python 2.4.
my zope.cnf file has the following under webdav-source <webdav-source-server> # valid keys are "address" and "force-connection-close" address 8088 force-connection-close off </webdav-source-server>
the server address is set as follows:
ip-address 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>
To clarify things, I front this with apache and connect to it using fastcgi connecting to localhost:8089. This works fine and has been for 2 years. I only want to add webdav capability. Since I haven't seen any documentation passing webdav through apache, I thought I would have to resort to stunnel or tunneling through ssh. So, on my ssh client, I do the follwoing
ssh -L 8088:localhost:8088 zopeserver.asu.edu <http://zopeserver.asu.edu>
I have, as of this morning, just got Zope webdav working through Apache, with Apache only allowing HTTPS access (I assume this is what you are trying to achieve, for security reasons?). No need for SSH tunnels at all. Just some URL rewriting: RewriteRule ^/dav/(.*) http://localhost:9675/VirtualHostBase/https/example.com:9670/VirtualHostRoot... [P] (host name changed to protect the innocent). I have Zope serving only to 127.0.0.1, serving webdav on a separate port (9675) to HTTP. I have other rewrite rules to cater for ordinary HTTP (non-webdav) access. Apache is serving up HTTPS on port 9670. With my config up above, you prepend '/dav' to the path to access things via webdav e.g. https://example.com:9670/dav/myfolder/ for "webdavs" access to "myfolder" instead of https://example.com:9670/myfolder/ for https access. I also have applied a patch to Zope to make it work with Microsoft's latest (failed) attempt to get webdav right. I used the info here: http://teyc.editthispage.com/2005/06/02 .. note: add the line to the OPTIONS method in the file that they mention. I can add a new webdav "network place" under XP and drag/drop/delete of files works. Of course, the usual Linux clients work without any patching.
