I know two ways of "tricking" the MS WebDAV driver into sending the proper authentication headers, but failing those you should fall back on Graham's advice. That's how I would do it as well, and he's far more experienced than I am at that particular method so I'll leave the technical details to him. Try recreating the Web Folder with one of the following URLs and see of it fixes your problem. (keep the "redirect-carefully" stuff in your Apache config though) 1) Trailing hash method: http://yourdomain.net/webdav/path/# 2) Port-80 method: http://yourdomain.net:80/webdav/path/ I'm also going to warn you, even if you can get around the authentication problem there's still a chance that it won't work perfectly. I don't know what causes it exactly, but on some configurations (like my home PC, sigh) the web folder will have an extremely long delay when opened. Checking the Apache log reveals a few PROPFIND requests...after 10 minutes or so the window will either display contents finally, or lock up for good. That much I can't help you with, and you'll need to persue further assistance with another mailing list. And if you do figure out what causes that specific problem, PLEASE let me know in a personal e-mail. :D
