Vista and/or Office 2007 WebDAV client changes

P

Peter Donker

I am trying to figure out what changed between XP/Office2003 and
Vista/Office2007 regarding WebDAV. I implement a custom WebDAV server and the
latter is not able to PUT back a document.

In essence the successful (i.e. XP/Office2003) negotiation during a save
from Word went like this:
OPTIONS /
200 OK
OPTIONS /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various
200 OK
PROPFIND /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various/Testing.doc
207 Multi-Status
PUT /dmxdav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various/Testing.doc
200 OK
OPTIONS /
200 OK
UNLOCK /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various/Testing.doc
204 No Content


The current 'save' goes like this:
PROPFIND /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various/Testing.doc
207 Multi-Status
PROPFIND /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various
207 Multi-Status
PROPFIND /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various
207 Multi-Status
PROPFIND /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various
207 Multi-Status
PROPFIND /mydav.axd/Base%20Collection/Various
207 Multi-Status

After which it decides it cannot save the file. Why? What did it expect that
was not returned? Can MSFT explain what it has changed here? It is very
frustrating for me as well as my customers and forces me to advertise
Vista/Office2007 is a no-go.
