[Zope] WebDAV with Office 2000

[Soren Roug]

Interesting, I was about to consider converting one of my intranet site and
would fall into the same trap as you have.
To recap; When you use frontpage to save via Webfolders it will look for
certain files and directories, and if
it doesn't find them it will assume it must use Frontpage extensions and go
for that.

My experience tells me Frontpage needs these directories:
_fpclass
_private
_themes
_vti_cnf
_vti_pvt

Fortunately, I think that linking between the underscore folders and the "real
content" is only a loose coupling. So maybe if you stuck a webserver in front
of it and escaped the above directories with RewriteRule you could get it to
work.
It would make a great How-To.
