After installing ezp 3.2-1 on windoze xp and enabling webdav in webdav.ini:
- it does not work with billyboy's explorer, we knew that already
- it *does* work with a trial edition of "WebDrive": just selected a webdav resource as http://localhost/webdav.php and specified the admin login details. Uploads with multi-MB pdfs and images works fine
One weird thing: "Webdrive" (or the ezp webdav server) does recursive listing of
plain/folder|root folder/folder|root folder/ ...
'plain' is the siteaccess
the root is displayed along a folder which really is a child. The webdav log reveals more recursion, but it does not hamper the basic webdav functionality. So Balazs, perhaps "Webdrive" may be another tool to fine-tune your webdav related developments. I will try more clients too. Thanks a lot! -paul

DAVexplorer, a java app, works fine but has a weird interface http://www.ics.uci.edu/~webdav/ Apache style license, so you could tailor this one to ez publish -paul

Nice one Paul I think a list of "tested" webdav clients is a must. Is the webdrive one? - http://www.bykeyword.com/pages/detail12/download-12694.html
Paul if we get a few more, we should create a matrix page for webdav tools tested and working etc.

What a nice little tool, its a shame its not opensource :( Still it seems to work well, we will see how solid it is in testing. Oh, Paul, have you tested it with webdavs:// ? I have tested konqueror and seems to run ok with cryto (weddavs), but alas I do not have any external webdav sites with approved CA cert roots, have you tested webdrive with webDAV over SSL?

Hi Tony No I did not test webdav over SSL yet, but found another client (that does not work): morgul, an alternative filemanager for local, ftp and http/webdav resources (freeware) http://www.barad-dur.biz/ I think this one just makes use of IE webdav layer since it gives the same error messages (without a trace in the ezp webdav.log). And yes, a matrix of webdav clients was also on my mind (after the ez crew finishes the doc restructuring). Until now not much luck for windows clients. I'll continue searching, since webdav support could make the difference in practical ezp based solutions where DMS-like features are a requirement. -paul

http://skunkdav.sourceforge.net/ It makes a connection, finds the siteaccess, but then it bumps: nothing to see. It may have something to do with a "lock" setting. Entries appear in the webdavlog.txt
Skunkdav development appears to be halted

I agree with your comment about the windows client making the difference between a DMS project going ahead or not. As for MS webdav, I am amazed that Microsoft would ship a product that doesn't work on its own platform ;-) Other webdav cms tools must use stable clients, i wonder what they use?

Hi Björn, I have made some changes based on our testing.
Changes,
1.We have IE working but it does not work with authentication.
2. We found webdrive to work without flaw on XP platform.
We have found some issues with Webdav itself
1. It creates new versions every time you save a file.
2. It does not have roles for differing content. Tony

Well if IE doesn't work without auth, whats the sense in using it. :-) I don't want anybody to access my content tree and delete stuff I will need to check webdrive again, I seems that I am dumb and not able to login with it.

The absence of file versioning makes it useless for me :( paul

Björn, You right about IE, but i can't get the webdav client to delete anything anyway :( But without roles and with the versioning problem its not useable anyway. Tony
