[Zope] WedDAV: WriteLocks with MS-Office

[Andreas Jung]

wahhh..yet another new wierd behaviour of MS Office. From the
Zope site the behaviour looks fine because there are no locks.
We solved this problem for Office 2K by adding an ETag: header
but it seems that the behaviour for Office 2002 is different
again. Maybe try to contact M$ support. But I assume they
will laugh at you when you mention Zope ;-(
