[Zope] Dreamweaver and WebDav

[Brian Lloyd]

FYI - I spent a good part of yesterday fixing a lot of
DAV support issues in Zope.

> Dreamweaver 4 WebDAV has the following issues (confirmed with their

>   compliant with HTTP RFC), and therefor misses the one sent by Zope. It

There is a fix in CVS so that we generate a header that
they can handle (and that is by-the-numbers of the spec
spelling)

Hm - GoLive has problems with the Host header too. They dont
send the port at all :)
