Hi Chris,
last month, you reported problems with Office 2000 and Zope.
We now run into apparently the same problem.
I also found Werner's excellent analysis of your problem.
I was puzzled by the strange, surely non-standard,
"Ms-Author-Via: DAV" header in the "OPTIONS" output.
The source documentation suggests it is
"an borg-specific header for ie5".
I am (almost) convinced that this header is responsible for
Office 2000 trying to open the documents via WebDAV.
I will remove this header (set in "webdav.Resource.OPTIONS") in
our installation because we do not use Office 2000 for authoring
Zope content. Maybe, this is an option for you, too.
