Hi all,

I did some dancing over webdav with windows and found totally new 
problems and solved them too. I downloaded both latest teamdrive and 
webdrive to my windows laptop, and used them to access Zope ( 2.6.0 ) 
through webdav.

In Zope I had created a PUT_factory, which maps files saved ending with 
.html, .htm, .HTML and .HTM to Zope Page template. As I was using 
teamdrive / xythos client with Dreamweaver ( 4.01 ) I noticed that if I 
opened a pagetemplate ( something.html ) through webdav and saved it 
again, the template got saved as a File - rather than a pagetemplate, as 
it was supposed. When I tried the same with other text-application, like 
textpad , similar did not happen - also it did not happen if I used 
Webdrive as a webdav client or Dreamweaver's own internal webdav-client.

Looking at webdavlogger's log and access logs I noticed that there was 
something different how teamdrive and webdrive were implemented. Also we 
have to remember that Dreamweaver makes a strange temp-file dance, when 
saving a file.

With Teamdrive Dreamweaver's tmp file was apparently moved / renamed to 
.html, while webdrive managed the same differently. So in the sense of 
how everything happened in Zope with teamdrive was:

Create a temp file Something.tmp and do put
Delete old real-file.html
Rename / Move Something.tmp to real-file.html

While this happened, the object that was created was a file - and not a 
pagetemplate.

As soon as a realised this, it was easy to fix the PUT_factory to map 
also .tmp files to pagetemplate. Included is a PUT_factory for an example.

Hope this helps others too.
