eric, from what i've read before, there's a problem with the class hierarchy in zope for 2.3.0. i ran into this problem, too. search on zope-dev at http://www.nipltd.com/ for: "broken ftp zclass put" you'll have to read the small discussion, but it mentions the problem is that the call to FTP PUT is actually inheriting that of WebDAV. not sure why this would affect WebDAV as well... ??? hope this helps, david ps, might search for "put and factory" on the zope list. seems like there's been discussion about a hookable PUT method. maybe taking a look at that might help. On 6/5/01, Eric enlightened me with:

To any of you Zopemeisters willing to suffer through my idiot question..... I am beginning to think I have exceeded my "Idiot Question" quota for the year.... Ok, here it is in a nutshell....

I can create instances (TTW) of DTML Method, DTML Document, and even HTML Document (installed product version 0.2) then use either an FTP client or a WEBDav client to make changes and update.

NOW, if I try to use any of the previous as a base class for a new ZClass, the instances created (TTW) from this new class CANNOT be managed via an FTP client or a WEBDav client.

I have made many false starts over the past week trying to isolate this problem. I have ruled out roles and permissions, although I still might be hosed here.

Out of desperation, I am contemplating modifying the HTML Document product to fit my needs. But I shouldn't have to do that because that is what ZClasses is all about. Or I thought so, anyway.

Any directions/insights are appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Eric
