           Summary: Webdav servlet does not work correctly with Windows XP
                    webdav redirector.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.20
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Servlets:WebDAV
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ramsgar-tomcat@yahoo.com


Tomcat webdav servlet works fine with Office applications, that is, running
WINWORD.EXE http://server/file.doc . However, if one enters
file://server/directory in the Windows explorer, it does not work with Tomcat.
The same test works successfully with Apache WebDAV server.

I think that this bug is correct.

As far as I know, the syntax file://server/directory is the correct one to
access Webdav folders in Windows. It is first translated internally to the UNC
syntax \\server\directory, which is then understood by the Windows XP Webdav
filesystem driver.

The first fact, the translation of file://server/directory URLs to Windows UNC
path \\server\directory is documented in the Internet Explorer blog entry "File
URIs in Windows"
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx

The interpretation of UNC paths as Webdav folders under Windows XP is
documented, for instance, in KB article "How documents are opened from a Web
site in Office 2003" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838028 (the article
explains that, when an UNC path is actually a WebDAV folder, then Office 2003
access it through the WebDAV protocol rather than through the normal filesystem
interface of the operating system.

When I say Apache WebDAV I mean httpd + mod_dav. Sorry for the ambiguity.

file:// accesses the local filing system not the WEBDav server so I wouldn't
expect this to work. I am not aware of an Apache WebDAV server project (do you
mean Jakarta Slide, http + mod_dav, something else?) but I suspect it was a
configuration fluke that the file url worked.

As far as I can tell (I can't find a way to force the file url to use a
different port) this is the same as 36303.

If I try to add a webdav folder as a network place it works perfectly on any
port other than 80. On 80 it fails with exactly the same error message as I get
trying a file url.

All the evidence here points to a MS bug.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36303 ***
