Not the same as using the Finder
Authored by: legacyb4 on Feb 23, '04 02:07:33PM

Under 10.3, accessing webDAV is much improved.

However, if you are accessing a newer Apache2 server providing webDAV services and are having trouble manipulating files/folders on the remote server (in my case, Linux) or seeing odd behavior, check out the following addition to httpd.conf that should solve your troubles.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107047

Symptom

When using WebDAV, you can connect and browse content, but you cannot create new files or folders.

Products affected

Mac OS X 10.0 or later

Solution

This occurs when the WebDAV server is using some versions of the Apache 2 Web server. Users of Mac OS 10.0 to 10.1.5 must update to Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Additionally, a configuration change may be required for the server. Refer your server administrator or Internet service provider to this document.

The following directive can be added to the httpd.conf file on the Apache 2 server to fix this issue:

BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[012]" redirect-carefully

The httpd.conf file should already contain several BrowserMatch directives for other WebDAV clients. If there is not a BrowserMatch directive for WebDAVFS, then it should be added.

Note: Apache 2, as installed with Mac OS X Server 10.2, includes this directive, but the default installation of Apache 2 may not.
