At the project I'm working on at the moment we're looking into using webdav for content uploads. We've installed a apache webserver with mod_dav on a solaris box, which works fine (people are quite enthousiastic about it). At the moment we've got a few issues with the mod_dav that I can't find answers to: - Behaviour of mod_dav with symbolic links. In the area's where we want to manage content there are a few symbolic links. These symbolic links do show up (and can be clicked through) with on the "normal" webserver, but when opening the URL in a webfolder (we're using IE5 as a dav client) the symbolic links don't show up. When I enter the URL of the symbolic link in the URL bar of the webfolder, the webfolder of the symbolic link does show up. Is there a way to configure the webserver so that symbolic links do showup in the webfolders? - Case sensitive / case insensitive behaviour. Some of the directories have capital letters, like "NL", these directories show up in lowercase in IE5's webfolder --> "nl". This means that when you click on the "nl" folder it can't be found by the webserver. Can this be considered to be a bug in MS IE5? At the moment we're considering using lowercase for all content, which eliminates this issue. Is this behaviour known and are there any ways to fix it?
