A workaround solution for WebDAV with XP users
Authored by: ar on Jun 10, '04 06:12:11PM
Another, possibly simpler workaround on the XP side is to update to the latest release of MDAC. (Yes Microsoft's WebDAV client is combined with the Data Access Components suite)

Updating to the latest MDAC prevents XP from including the "DOMAIN\" portion in the username.

A workaround solution for WebDAV with XP users
Authored by: alani on Jun 14, '04 09:48:12AM

Ah, thanks! I was looking hard for some kind of update or fix. This will definitely help.

But only me. Do you think any of the Windows users I work with are going to be bothered with this if it's not being downloaded and installed automatically for them? Darn it.

Looks like MS isn't getting behind WebDAV, if this is how they are going about enabling the OS with a functional client.

Makes me think that for good reasons or bad WebDAV is a dead end technology. One good reason may be security.

I'm running a SSL server, but telling the client to use https instead of http doesn't work. I haven't stumbled on any articles about this.

Updating MDAC did not work for me.

The mod_encoding and htpasswd fixes both work.
