[Zope] PROPFIND, Word, and Zope

[Bert Vanderbauwhede]

Hi,

Sometimes, when someone tries to open a Word document directly in Internet
Explorer, a whole bunch of PROPFIND requests are sent to the server. As a
result, Zope behaves erratically (stylesheets and pictures aren't sent
to the client, external scripts return exceptions...). Is there a way to
avoid this behavior? I have closed the WebDAV port, but these requests
are sent to the default HTTP port.

Configuration:
RedHat Linux 8.0
Apache 1.3 with FastCGI
Zope 2.5.1
