           Summary: webdav bugs in some operations
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Release Candidate 1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina

webdav works only for certain security configurations.

As webdav clients I use IE5 or IE5.5 or FileExplorer; all on a win2000 OS.
I can always see the directory tree and the files and read-operations work fine 
as well. However, depending on the security configuration of the webdav webapp, 
some features of webdav fail.

If the webdav-webapp is configured to allow http and to have no authentication, 
then everything seems to work fine.

If the webdav-webapp is configured to inforce(!) HTTPS access by specifing a 
transport guarantee of "CONFIDENTIAL", then I cannot RENAME files and I cannot 
copy a file from the client to the server, overwriting a file there. However, 
copying a file to the server, which is not already there, works fine. File 
Deletion works as well. Directories can be queried, files can be read.

If the webdav-webapp is configured to inforce(!) HTTPS access by specifing a 
transport guarantee of "CONFIDENTIAL" and is furthermore configured to have a 
CLIENT-CERT authentication, then copying files to the server doesn't work at 
all. Renaming also doesn't work. Directories can be queried, files can be read.

(I have set the read-only attribute in the webdav web.xml to "false".)
