Most of the problems are probably because I didn't mean it to be a fully-compliant WebDAV server, but to serve my need at the time :)


I am *so* close to having a WebDAV solution. Unfortunately when I finally
moved to using HTTPS, it all broke in MS Windows. (Konqueror handles it
beautifully.)

If I make a Web Folder with HTTP, Windows displays it (as "\\hostname\")
in Windows Explorer. If I make it with HTTPS, it throws me into Internet
Explorer (where WebDAV isn't used - I can't even launch files).

WTF?! It looks like other people are using WebDAV over HTTPS.

Why is Windows kicking me into IE for HTTPS???

(I'm tired and frustrated. I hate being forced to deal with proprietary
software.)


The Windows Web Folder mapping service is also "proprietary" : MS
It can't handle HTTPS in XP so far.

That HTTPS example on this page is from a Mac.
