webdav and OSX resource files
Hi, I'm being a little naughty, as this question relates to webdav, but not to slide. I have a webdav implementation that works on all OSes other than OS X. On OS X, if you open a resource, e.g. foo.doc, immediately afterwards it tries to load ._foo.doc (or something like that), which is the files resource fork. It fails, as the resource isn't there, and retries 50 times, meanwhile the process of loading the file hangs for an uncomfortable amount of time. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have a way to resolve it? Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is off-topic.

Does that not relate to MacOS filesystem handling rather than WebDAV itself? A random though is to try to control MacOS to not do resource fork retrieval for a specific filesystem or mount. If that can be done at all and if so in system settings or in Java, I take the liberty to leave to the Mac experts... I have also seen MacOS (pre-X) mounting UNIX filesystemes with keeping of all resources in a separate .AppleDouble-directory at the root of the mount. Maybe that's one small step further as you in your implementation could separate Mac-specific resource fork requests (all for the /.AppleDouble tree) from real requests.
