------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-01-24 00:46 -------
I think that this bug is correct.

As far as I know, the syntax file://server/directory is the correct one to
access Webdav folders in Windows. It is first translated internally to the UNC
syntax \\server\directory, which is then understood by the Windows XP Webdav
filesystem driver.

The first fact, the translation of file://server/directory URLs to Windows UNC
path \\server\directory is documented in the Internet Explorer blog entry "File
URIs in Windows"
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx

The interpretation of UNC paths as Webdav folders under Windows XP is
documented, for instance, in KB article "How documents are opened from a Web
site in Office 2003" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838028 (the article
explains that, when an UNC path is actually a WebDAV folder, then Office 2003
access it through the WebDAV protocol rather than through the normal filesystem
interface of the operating system.

When I say Apache WebDAV I mean httpd + mod_dav. Sorry for the ambiguity.
