The locking problem was more related to the absence of the ETAG header that Office 2K expects.

Hi Chris,

last month, you reported problems with Office 2000 and Zope. We now run into apparently the same problem.

I also found Werner's excellent analysis of your problem.

I was puzzled by the strange, surely non-standard, "Ms-Author-Via: DAV" header in the "OPTIONS" output. The source documentation suggests it is "an borg-specific header for ie5".

I am (almost) convinced that this header is responsible for Office 2000 trying to open the documents via WebDAV.

I will remove this header (set in "webdav.Resource.OPTIONS") in our installation because we do not use Office 2000 for authoring Zope content. Maybe, this is an option for you, too.

Dieter
