Webdav in plone 6

Plone Support

Anyone know how to customize webdav bulk upload behaviors for different types?

The way its working now it does not “do what you would expect”

html should upload / download as pages (without rfc headers)

images should upload / download as images

binary files should upload / download as binary files

I’ve been through the documentation and looked at the xml schemas and noted some have their fields marked as primary etc. But overall behavior seems mis-configured out of the box.

There do not seem to be any clear-cut examples in the documentations on how to make webdav behave like a normal filesystem.

Plone 4.3 works fine under Archetypes using the Primary Field Marshaller component.

From what I understand, all that is baked into the Dexterity types on Plone6.

If I only knew what fields to experiment with to change the marshalling behavior over webdav I’d be able to upgrade my aging 4.3 site to 6.X using bulk upload.

THANKS!

Uploading and downloading folder hierarchies seem to work outside of the Plone folder (in the Zope only zone).

Binary files transfer as zero bytes unless they are currently open for editing from the filesystem view ; they show their size in the fileview. Closing them returns their sizes to zero bytes and then they no longer transfer (drag n drop) properly.

FYI

Same here - I remember WebDAV worked smoothly on Plone 4, but not on 6.
