Does Slide handle redirects for Web Folder appropriately? (Remy?)
*I'm hoping Remy reads this as I believe he wrote the code in question*
I'm having trouble with Microsoft Web Folders and I believe it's related
to the WebDAV server I use. Apache2 mod_dav works, as does the
WebdavServlet included with Tomcat 4.0, but the Resin Webdav servlet and
the Slide 1.0.16 Webdav servlet don't work. I'm getting the "Can't
display as Web Folder" error message. I noticed that Apache makes a
special effort not to send redirects for collections that don't end in
'/'s in order to work around a bug in Microsoft's implementation. I
suspect the Tomcat webdav servlet does the same. What I'm wondering is
if the Slide servlet does this and something else is causing the
problem, or if the Slide servlet could be patched to match the one that
ships with Tomcat.
K.C.

The web folders are opened in IE through File->Open dialog only. We
discourage usage of IE as a WebDAV client in favor of XML Spy.
Too much trouble with insufficient error message display.
One more trivial tip. Always end the url with a /.

Yes, I am. Everything was working the way I wanted when I had it set to
false, with the exception of the Web Folders.
I'm curious. Are you embedding Web Folders in a web page, either via a
Frame or IFrame? If so, how do you cause them to appear? I can get it
to work when a user clicks on a link, but I'm having trouble getting it
to automatically appear.

You are aware of the init parameter default-servlet in web.xml?
Funny I just discovered, we are running our server with
default-servlet = false for ages without problems. However
slide is the default servlet.

I have since looked into this more. It appears that the difficult
arises when the Slide servlet is not the default servlet. I'm not sure
how it should be configured in that case to work, but that seems to be
the determining factor. My site works fine with DAVExplorer and also
with Windows Explorer. It's only when I try to view the site within a
web page using the Web Folders behavior.

I cant't tell you, what your problem is, without more information, but
slide does work with IE for me.. The error message could mean anything. Did
you look into the tomcat access log? Does slide return a 2xx status
message? Try some other client, e.g. DavExplorer or cadaver. They
give you much better error messages than IE.
