Win98 and WEBDAV - you ought to see it if you can
Apologies if this is old news to many. If like me you'd played with Web Folders under NT against a Zope server and been encouraged but realised than the implementation (at the Microsoft end) still had a little way to go ..... .... if you have access to a Win98 machine point it at a Zope server of your choice. I was setting up (why do I feel the need to explain ...) a PC at home for my kids over the weekend. Win98 was bundled with it. I spotted the Web Folders icon on the desktop so I thought I'd give a whirl. It's impressive. Complete integration with the desktop and unlike the NT implementation you can create and rename folders (I was having to resort to ftp to do this), and no stuttering during file transfers. Couldn't fault it (though I expect various Linux desktops have been in this state for some time). Question: If WEBDAV works so well under Win98 does it also work just as well under Win2K? Perhaps someone who will admit to using Win2K can confirm this? It might even motivate me to upgrade from NT ..... Regards.

I'm using Win2000 at work. Opening a webdav folder works, so does renaming or moving objects around. Copying from a local folder to a remote zope works too. But the reverse direction results in a "Error Copying File or Folder: An error occured while copying the file. The requested header was not found" sometimes. Copying a different file got me "The current operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error has occured". In short, it's too buggy for doing real work. -- o ( Wolfgang.Strobl@gmd.de (+49 2241) 14-2394 /\ * GMD mbH #include _`\ `_<=== Schloss Birlinghoven, <std.disclaimer> __(_)/_(_)___.-._ 53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany ________________
When I try to "Add a Web Folder" on Win98 I get a 404 error on the resource _vti_bin both on my own web sites and on www.zope.org. Any idea why or what is _vti_bin? -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Browning <paul.browning@bris.ac.uk> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: May 21, 2000 10:41 PM Subject: [Zope] Win98 and WEBDAV - you ought to see it if you can
