M$ applications request several non-WebDAV compliant properties like 'isreadonly' from the WebDAV server. Maybe M$ applications expect other return values instead of a WebDAV compliant answer. To approach this problem it could help to intercept the WebDAV traffic between Word and M$ server application that supports WebDAV. Are there any volunteers trying to solve this problem ?

As an example I mounted a Zope instance as webfolder and edited an existing HTML file. The logs show that Word locks the file, requests its contents and then release the lock. When I try to save the file it sends a 'PROPFIND /' and receives all informations about all files but no lock informations (because Word did not request lock information in the PROPFIND request). For some dumb-dumb-dumb reasons, Word concludes that the file is read-only (the Zope WevDAVLock manager shows that are no locks).

"I could open and read a worddocument in a WebDAV-folder, but not a htm-document. After writing a new htm-document, during which I had to authorize again, I could read also the older htm-documents. Perhaps that gives some hints."
That's the point: As soon as Word has to authenticate, it seems to start sending the authentication info. Before that, it seems to retrieve the files as anonymous user, which of course means that it has no rights to set the locks etc.
I don't think so, cause it works with doc-files even without authentication.
