| Windows 2000 Native | Probably best support of windows versions. Called WebFolders |

Works well once you've got a connection. When doing "Add Network Location" you should specify the port even if its default of 80. Otherwise it will sometimes create a UNC connection, which won't work. Moves are incorrectly implemented as GET, DELETE, PUT. This is a problem if the GETable representation is not the same as your persisted representation, ie if you use templating. UPDATE 24/2/09: i just tried it again and now windows XP is issuing MOVEs correctly, at least on my machine and on milton-test. Havent gotten to the bottom of it yet, could be either because of an inadvertent enhancement in Milton (what are the chances..) or possibly a patch came through in an auto-update from MS... |
| Windows XP (64 bit) Native | Doesnt work. Gives a message that the address is invalid. |

Webdav does not work out of the box, for at least some Vista installations. Microsoft has a KB patch to fix it. See here: www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx Or search for KB907306 Once patched works about the same as XP. Can be a bit tricky to find what to click on to create a network location (its under My Computer, not Network Places) Mapping a drive to the webdav share appears to work, and this might be simpler for users to setup. One strange issue i've seen is that sometimes a user can't open a folder by double clicking it, although they can open it from the pull down menu's in Vista's address bar. Weird. Update: Steve has confirmed that (at least for SP1) you don't need to specify the port number |
| Linux Gnome - Nautilus |
Works well. You can enter a url into the address bar but it must specify a protocol of dav:// not http:// Also implements moves as for XP |
| Linux KDE | I've been told this works |
| Mac OS | Support is good and quite intuitive. However, implements some elaborate locking and committing mechanism which results in a large number of file operations and might leave temporary files on the server |

| MS Office | Found this: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office-support/921464.htm "We solved this read-only problem with WebDAV in Vista SP1, IE8 and Office 2007 by installing hotfix for KB942392 (http://support.microsoft.com/KB/942392). This hotfix, probably, will be included in Vista SP2." Looks like the hotfix is here: http://support.microsoft.com/KB/942392 |
