Re: WebDAV Server

[Corey Head <coreyhead yahoo com>]

Unfortunately I'm unable to find the mod_encoding
module for 2.0.  However, I did find a site that
mentioned a work-around for XP.  It worked!  To
connect you have to add the port number.  So it will
look something like this when adding a Network Place. 
Note this will NOT work for Mapping a drive.

http://mydomain.com:80/share_folder/

This got the desired results out of Microsoft...and
everyone else on Linux/Mac/UNIX was still able to
connect just fin.

Thanks all for the help!
