I have ZServer up and running on both Solaris 2.6 and Linux.

I can get it to serve pages doing http and pcgi through Netscape Enterprise Server.

WebDAV works when done through ZServer, but not Enterprise Server. I thought I had read somewhere that this would work regardless of the web server being used (but I have not the slightest idea why it should).

I'm not surprised that it doesn't work with Netscape server. WebDAV to Zope doesn't actually work with Apache either -- it requires a four line patch, as Apache intercepts one of WebDAV HTTP method calls.

Fundamentally, Netscape is probably refusing to pass HTTP methods to CGI scripts. Just my guess. This means the Netscape plugin would need to be modified.

It's actually much worse than that - NSE gives you only an API, not the ability to patch source code (which is not available), so you are stuck with the capabilities given you by the API. Last I looked, there was no way to circumvent NSE's internal handling of HTTP methods using the nsapi, which means _no_one_ will be able to implement a WebDAV-enabled _anything_ under that server until Netscape makes it possible... :( FWIW, NSE understands its own set of "extended" HTTP methods which are similar to (but not compatible with) the new HTTP methods defined in DAV. These extensions and their semantics were created by NS to add value to their servers and make them work with their proprietary authoring tools, so I don't know how motivated NS would be to change the current situation. If WebDAV takes off, they may be motivated to support it, but it's quite possible that they would just map DAV methods to their own internal code (just as they do now) and still prevent back-end app servers from handling these methods directly.
