I have recently set up a WebDAV interface to a directory on my machine (Mac OS X, apache latest version). The related post is here:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Web_Servers/Apache/Q_23781915.htmlI have been able to successfully connect to the server from XP on several machines, but not one in particular. Here are the facts:
-The same machine successfully connects to two other WebDAV servers.
-My server uses digest authentication.
-The XP machine is running SP2 and is behind a firewall.
-I can connect to the WebDAV server for viewing only if I use Mozilla (authentication works fine).
If I try to connect with
http://myserver.org/MyDavDir, I get an authentication dialog but no matter how many times I try to enter the name and password it fails to connect and presents the authentication dialog again. I had the same problem with other XP machines. However, on research I discovered that this problem can be avoided by specifying the port in the URL, i.e.
http://myserver.org:80/MyDavDir. But the trick doesn't work on this machine. It says the "folder is in valid". That's a translation from Japanese so the English error may be something different. Any ideas what might be causing the problem and how to solve it?
