[Zope] webdav: collection does not work when I use file type object as baseclass

[Robert Rottermann]

I tested things some more.
It works most of the time. However sometimes I get
following error in the web dav client (Dreamweaver):
"could not understand server response"

So I still would appreciate a hint very much.
