[Zope] WebDAV lockingproblem with Word

[Andreas Jung]

Just a quote for your amuesment. This is taken from an email response
from Microsoft where I have been asking about the WebDAV problems with Zope
and Winword :-)

"""
Have you involved ZOPE in this issue because Windows 2000 and Windows ME is
also affected by this issue? My opinion in this case is that the ZOPE server
keeps the file locked after the Office component unlocks the file. We never
had problems with IIS and locking. This is the case why I only believe that
the server component is causing the problem! Please notice that the ZOPE is
open source and therefore it is not guaranteed that it is RFC compliant!
"""

Cheers,
Andreas
