Thank you for replying to my email. I'm sorry if my questions seemed naive or lazy to you. That was not the intent. The obvious lack of documentation on the subject prompted my question for more resources. The "V" in WebDAV stands for versioning, so I guessed that that might actually be supported. Lastly, my question regarding clients was valid from the standpoint that it is up to the client to implement the features of the protocol. Obviously some clients do and some clients don't. To clarify the use of WebDAV in this case, I am looking to use folders within Plone to act as "webdrives" for users to store documents. Development tools such as DreamWeaver and GoLive are not going to be much help. I know that OS X provides a client to connect to WebDAV resources like a regular folder. There are third party clients in Windows that do the same. I was simply hoping that others were already doing this and might be able to offer up some suggestions. charlie On Wednesday, August 13, 2003, at 03:55 PM, Andreas Jung wrote:

- Does Zope provide a means to lock and/or provide version control on objects being edited via WebDAV?
Zope supports the standard WebDAV locking mechanism.
- If so, is there some source of documentation that provides more detail?
What other documentation is needed? You lock or unlock an object through WebDAV. You don't need to care about the internals?!
- Is it a 1 user to 1 object locking or can multiple people edit the same document?
As much as I know WebDAv does not support locking only particular parts of a document. Check the WebDAV RFC!
- Again, if this is possible which clients are people using on OS X and Windows?
Any client that supports WebDAV (Webfolder under Win32 suck completely).. Some tools: GoLive, Dreamweaver, Cadaver, etc.
