C.3. Autoversioning Interoperability

In this section, we'll describe the most common generic WebDAV clients (at the time of writing), and how well they operate against a mod_dav_svn server using the SVNAutoversioning directive. RFC 2518 is a bit large, and perhaps a bit too flexible. Every WebDAV client behaves slightly differently, and creates slightly different problems.

C.3.1. Win32 WebFolders

Windows 98, 2000, and XP have an integrated WebDAV client known as WebFolders. On Windows 98, the feature might need to be explicitly installed; if present, a WebFolders directory appears directly within My Computer. On Windows 2000 and XP, simply open My Network Places, and run the Add Network Place icon. When prompted, enter the WebDAV URL. The shared folder will appear within My Network Places.
