Word as WebDAV client

[Alex Rakov]

Hi,

I work at a webdav server. And i try to use Word as a webdav client.
But I have strange problem. For some files Word sends LOCK command and
works with them well. But for others it doesn't do it. My server responses on
OPTION command. But it doesn't help.

Maybe someone can clerify the question how to tell Word if the document can
be opened not in read-only mode

On the request:

OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1
Translate: f
User-Agent: Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider Protocol
Discovery
Host: mc13
Content-Length: 0
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Pragma: no-cache

the service sends the following:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

SEARCH, MKCOL, LOCK, UNLOCK

and on the second one as well:

Translate: f
User-Agent: Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider Protocol
