My company deals in part with WebDAV, the technology used to mount iDisk volumes. Although iDisk seems to work fine, I run into problems when attempting to mount our document repository. Using the 'Connect to Server' dialog I enter:
http://host.hostname.com:8080/webdavI'm prompted for my username and password, and then nothing happens. If I start a terminal session, I can see the webdav volume in my /Volumes folder, and can mv, cp, etc., and generally interract with it with no problems. However, the disk does not appear on the desktop or in any Finder windows. It's worth noting that very rarely, the volume does just mount and displays properly
