[Zope] WebDAV lockingproblem with Word

[Robert Rottermann]

I have been looking trough the Microsoft developer site and found a
reference that might be helpful

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wss/wss/_we
bdav_methods.asp

I tried to compile one of their C++ examples but failed since 2 identifiers
are undeclared
IID_IXMLHttpRequest
and
CLSID_XMLHTTPRequest
I found their declaration nowhere.
So if somebody could tell me what I need to have them declared I could start
fiddling.
