[Zope] problem with authorisation using webdav/HTMLDocument

[Joe Gaffey]

Thanks for that Dieter.

I realised that there was no mention of __ac_permissions__ in the
HTMLDocument product that I was using which I thought was a bit strange.  So
I looked more carefully at the code/product that I had installed and
realised that it was not from http://www.zope.org/Members/sf/HTMLDocument,
but was rather from http://www.zope.org/Members/unfo/howto_wrapper.  They
seem to be quite different implementations of the same thing.  The reason I
chose the one I did was coz at the time I was VERY new to zope and there was
*NO* installation instructions that I could find for the other.

I would like to advise others that the second one above
(...Members/unfo/....) gave me a lot of trouble with authorisation, whereas
the first one  (...Members/sf/....) seems to work a treat.  However it
claims to be fully Catalog aware, but I had to  add a reindex_object()
method call..... a small price to pay:)

Thanks to all concerned,
Joe.
