Are you trying to use webdav.Collection by itself? That won't work: it's 
a mix-in class, meant to enable WebDAV support for actual collections of 
objects, like Folders. There's precious little to do to make Zope 
visible to WebDAV clients: just one switch (and maybe one permission) to 
throw. Very much like Zope's FTP support. Perhaps you should read
