Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org, Mac OS X, Desktop Linux distros and lots of other software already know how to read/write files from DAV shares with no special (additional) software such as you describe. Notably, Microsoft Windows explorer makes a complete mess of the specification and prohibits the use of obviously-useful features, making DAV nearly impossible to use without help. I have turned to South River Technologies' WebDrive[1] software to make our DAV shares work on Microsoft Windows versions after Windows 7. It mounts a WebDAV share as a drive-letter and then you just work with the files as if they were local. - -chris [1] I have no interest in WebDrive other than I am a very satisfied customer. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYJgfFAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYl4cP/AznYDHuH4wNYjfi6pvfUqT8 KCj2aI+bcd01dcIgyhhPopRuz4qGW4YVQ6+uqNYq8avvwTCmpj0h5g5bwG0ZPi/I ZneYvZc9SR7ZL10vPAVM38KKe+y+7guOoiLPWgST/nTKmFGXi26JdezZaq1R/xk6 B30RHQw/pzd9c0BvrhyhDlGOQoGZVsim0wl3JjufZNwTVb6QE193NhFmew5fz9P3 gyrZsVy16KuqQI7k/QDs/PKIZJKEW0Rv+Q0lXJTuiTQmQNNh/AcL4sd11LISsbx3 v6hSklGz2HapXLFNtIgHlnjI9xzG1cMndxzr9nKJM0xpBF1Z69hpCePTMXzX66rw CJL3bsfUuOXuu+9h5yY8QlJoNcCrxesG6n8c3nPA6GKNc+UHh/DN7DI9ZKv3rthr kHhx3rI5N873pgzAMScmzX48MJ1wQ16xJIlVFh6eGXLdemXr6hSsJghmNV5WlCDk bct3829iQTG3jQJSufgBTKojY5lYywE5Z1fGDUbPZeWm5m1Za0pnILMho7GVY3N1 u5AveOGP8uIXl5yczOpxnVKf3UTS/qByca3VB81U/6TdG6lDMV8al0m1S1+FBgCU oNulgTrDATKYw7DH8SW0PkVgZDFvWQRFG/W3POrUmsIxwUoQ1mN+3OXRaZ3bqyNo T7vvGzCzQzvdopDPk+G0 =vaGE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
