Connecting Windows XP client to Jakarta Slide webdav via MS Office

[JV832 <jv...@orange.nl>]

Hi there!

I've had problems connecting to a Slide webdav server with Windows XP. I 
know Windows does not follow the standard and has problems with this. 
I've tried several manuals on how to do this, but they don't work for me.

Even the XP manual on the Jakarta Slide website doesn't work for me.
http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/xp.html

But last week I tried to connect directly from MS Word, and that worked. 
Surprisingly the connection turned up in the explorer, and I could use 
it in other applications from then on.

I saved the document, and in the filename field, I typed in the following:

http://www.yourdomain.com/slide/files/test.doc

Then I got the login window, which worked like it should. I use Office 
2003. I don't know if this works in Office 2000 or XP. I hope it still 
works in Office 2007, and that they will fix this in Vista. If someone 
could confirm if it works or not, that would be nice.

I just wanted to share this with you, as most people who use XP have 
Word installed.

If you have working solutions to solve this problem otherwise, I'm 
always interested.
