[users@httpd] Adding WebDAV folder as network place in Windows XP

[Richard Smith <ri...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've had s webdav folder added using a local address (
http://192.168.0.23:81/path) but recently tried to add that via it's
external address, XP gave the error "The folder you entered does not appear
to be valid. Please choose another.". But if I out the port number from the
address it accepts it, but of course the authentication fails. Does anyone
have any ideas?

Thanks

Rich

Webfolders are a nightmare of bugs and work-arounds. The problem is
almost never apache-related, but rather related to the silly client.
The most authoritative information I know of is here:
