Web folders: requested header was not found
I've opened my member directory on www.zope.org as a web folder in Internet Explorer 5.5 on Windows 2000. That must mean I'm using WebDAV. When I try to drag and drop any object from www.zope.org to the desktop, IE complains: "An error occurred while copying the file. The requested header was not found". Is this a Zope issue, or a Microsoft issue? Regards, René Pijlman

Is this a Zope issue, or a Microsoft issue? At least, it is a typical Microsoft error message (shared by Oracle error messages): there hate to name things directly. I am sure, it would help to know which header was not found....
Sorry, I know, it does not help you.... I try to make bad publicity that our children get better Microsoft (and Oracle) error messages.... Dieter

Oracle would give you a pile of useless messages, but at the bottom would be something meaningful like "EPC-00046: General Error Message" or "Maximum number of restrictions exceeded" :-)

Maybe I'll give it a try and debug this scenario. But is it worthwhile? Based on a recommendation on one of the Zope sites I tested WebDrive (www.webdrive.com). On my member directory on zope.org this shows me 0 files, while there are some howto's, index_html and other things. For some reason, it does show DTML files on my own Zope server. I don't know... is WebDAV for real? Does anybody actually use it to access objects in Zope?

And then our grandchildren may get a better Zope and enjoy the virtues of WebDAV :-) Regards, René Pijlman

ORA-XXXXX: table of view does not exist ORA-YYYYY: unknown column name At least, this makes the jobs of Oracle programmers safe... Debugging takes several times longer than necessary. Dieter

The handling of MS webfolders has been completely broken in all Zope 2.4 versions because of several bug in the new introduced WebDAV locking code and a lousy WebDAV implementation in Windows. Most of the stuff should work as expected in the next 2.4 beta. Andreas
