Is anybody using the combination Dreamweaver 4 WebDAV Zope already? A connection was easy to make. At the moment i want to put or get something "access to the desired resource is denied by the server". I checked my password, i have the correct rights, and it is working more or less fine on ftp. (i can not change a file name on the host: an ftp error occured, cannot rename hihi.htm to haha.htm. 500 RNFR command not understood) Met vriendelijke groeten, Hans de Wit h.de.wit@scp.nl

Hmmmm. I've had mixed success with a range of WebDAV clients on a range of operating systems - not all seem to handle renaming files/folders.
and it is working more or less fine on ftp. (i can not change a file name on the host: an ftp error occured, cannot rename hihi.htm to haha.htm. 500 RNFR command not understood)
I've been meaning to ask the list about this for some time. This is a real PITA. I infer it to be a ZServer issue (no ftp client I've tried supports renaming). With marvellous tools like HMTL-Kit, Homesite (Dreamweaver when I get my hands on it), etc it really is a bit of a let down when a well-integrated ftp tool is hobbled by the lack of ZServer support for rename. Is this something that is easy to fix? It would be a major Quick Win in my book.

There seems to be Dreamweaver 4 WebDAV issues in general (a quick look at news:macromedia.dreamweaver suggests that). I have not been able to get Dreamweaver 4 to PUT data into Zope via WebDAV. GoLive works fine. Cadaver works fine, etc. I looked at the HTTP header (for PUT) that Dreamweaver sends and it seems to lack a HTTP_AUTHORIZATION entry. My username and password was entered in Dreamweaver's "Define site"/"Remote info"/access:WebDAV" panel. But, Dreamweaver doesn't seem to want to send it... --- "Sardonic Slaughterer of Sacred Cows" Todd Coram - mailto:todd@digicool.com Digital Creations, Inc - http://www.digicool.com Publishers of Zope - http://www.zope.org

Dreamweaver 4 WebDAV has the following issues (confirmed with their Technical Support): - Dreamweaver searches for a WWW-Authenticate header case-sensitively (not compliant with HTTP RFC), and therefor misses the one sent by Zope. It therefor cannot do any operation for which authentication is required. - Dreamweaver sends a malformed host header; it sends the IP number, not the DNS name (again, in conflict with the RFC). Also, when using a non-standard port (ie other than 80), it will send a non-sensical port number in the header (My 'www' server, port 50080 becomes 'Host: 192.168.0.1:429451840'). Also, Dreamweaver 4 has no support for XHTML, whatsoever. It will even rewrite correct XHTML in such a way it isn't valid XML anymore. For example: <hr noshade="noshade" size="1" /> becomes: <hr noshade size="1">. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
FYI - I spent a good part of yesterday fixing a lot of DAV support issues in Zope.

There is a fix in CVS so that we generate a header that they can handle (and that is by-the-numbers of the spec spelling)

Hm - GoLive has problems with the Host header too. They dont send the port at all :) Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Yes, I have been updating my server and testing out the clients.

Hmm, I am not sure that playing along with client bugs is such a good idea myself. I have gotten confirmation from Macromedia about the bugs, and they are testing a hotfix as we speak. They'll distribute it through exchange.macromedia.com. A pity that all their servers except www.macromedia.com are unreachable for me just now.

Ah, that explains the fix you checked in :) Is this the beta version that Todd and I are running? It may be that the release version has been fixed. Todd is looking into buying copies. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
