You should know, you wrote the code! ;-)

AFAIR, it makes office content stored in Zope editable via MS WebDAV. The 
problem is, there's no control over when these headers are inserted.

So, the situation I have is Office trying to open content for editing via DAV 
because those headers are present. Of course, the end users don't want to edit 
content, they just want to download it.

But, because those headers are present, they get a dialog box from Office 
anyway. If they hit 'cance', it opens fine in read mode, but they should never 
have to go through that step...

cheers,
