WebDav Problem under Windows 10

1letter · February 20, 2020, 9:22am

I know the following is not directly Plone, but has anyone the problem and/or a solution or idea?

If i updated a File in Plone via Webdav from a Windows 7 Client als is fine, but under Winodws 10 the old object is deleted an a new object is added. the problem: the state of the object ist now "private" because it's new
In the apache Logfile i see a "DELETE" in the Request of the Win10 Client.
The goal: only update the filecontent without replace the original object.

Request from Windows 7 Client

I have investigated a little bit more. It only happens if i overwrite the file from the Office-Suite by using the "Save as" Dialog. If i copy the local file via windows explorer to the mounted network-resources (the plone folder via webdav) a normal "update" without deleteprocess happens.

Has this ever worked reliabily under any Windows version?

Yes, under Windows 7

This is outside of Plone's control: if the WebDAV client decides
to implement "update" by "delete + create", Plone cannot change this.
You might be able to tell the WebDAV client not to work in this way
(it is quite stupid).

You may change the workflow: usually, you would use WebDAV
with file like objects; maybe, you can assign a one state workflow
to that type.

If the objects you want to update via WebDAV are located
in a special area, Products.CMFPlacefulWorkflow may be of help.
It allows you to locally control the workflow associated with types.
