The problem is that Zope's normal HTTP server port also serves out WebDAV :-(

It also includes an MS-Author-Via-DAv header, causing M$ apps to try and open
things like word files using WebDAV and trying to lock them in the process. My
solution to this was a pretty brutal monkey patch to Zope to stop it including
htat header.

It solved my problems but I'm not sure what the 'right' solution is...

cheers,
