The WebDAV redirector built into Windows uses a different codebase from the one built into Internet Explorer. It also doesn't match the WebDAV spec in a number of unpleasant ways. I assume the httpd developers (assuming this is what you mean by "Apache web server") have managed to find a workaround which is not in Tomcat's WebDAV servlet. Have you looked at Jakarta Slide? It contains a more complete WebDAV implementation than Tomcat's own servlet, and may get round the problem. It also includes pluggable storage modules; you may find that much of your distributed file system work has been done for you. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
