I fixed the HTTP failure by disabling the "welcome" page in welcome.conf (I don't know if this is standard Apache configuration or something peculiar to CentOS). All of the HTTP tests are now passing with my changes.
For the WebDAV failure, this is what I see in the access_log file: 192.168.200.106 - - [22/Jun/2009:14:09:06 -0400] "PROPFIND /vfstest/test-data/read-tests HTTP/1.1" 401 481 "-" "Jakarta-Commons-VFS" 192.168.200.106 - vfsusr [22/Jun/2009:14:09:06 -0400] "PROPFIND /vfstest/test-data/read-tests HTTP/1.1" 301 340 "-" "Jakarta-Commons-VFS" I think the 301 "Moved Permanently" response is expected when receiving a request for a directory that doesn't end with "/". Isn't this what the Apache server is supposed to do--send the client a redirect with the "/" added to the end of the URL? To test this, I sent an HTTP GET request from Firefox, and got the same results in the access_log file, except this time the browser responded properly to the redirect: 192.168.200.106 - - [22/Jun/2009:14:36:56 -0400] "GET /vfstest/test-data/read-tests HTTP/1.1" 301 340 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" 192.168.200.106 - - [22/Jun/2009:14:36:56 -0400] "GET /vfstest/test-data/read-tests/ HTTP/1.1" 200 1676 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" So I'm a bit puzzled, not being an expert on either WebDAV or Apache configuration. It seems that the server is doing what it's supposed to, but the client (VFS WebDAV provider) isn't responding properly. Again, any help is greatly appreciated.
