milton webdav in windows xp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to map network drive (milton webdav version of gss) in windows xp sp 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected is mounted network drive, and instead I get error message saying: "The 
directory name is invalid." I am trying to mount location 
"http://ip_adress/webdav" (this works in windows 7). I tried it on two windows 
xp hosts and it is the same, it would not mount. Older pre-milton version of 
gss mounts fine in windows xp.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Recent gss version 1.4.0 I think, on Centos 5 64bit.

Please provide any additional information below.

Milton webdav cannot be mounted on windows xp sp3, but works on windows 7. 
Webdav and pithos location is accessible on all client hosts I used to test 
webdav, and webdav works via browser on all of them. There are no visible 
errors in jboss server log (debug is enabled).

Regards,
Nikola

Hi Nicola,

Please try mounting gss webdav without using webfolders, i.e. map network drive 
-> just type https://ip_adress/webdav in the field and connect, don't use the 
other option that uses web folders (can't recall the exact option description, 
a link below the input field).

Please let us know if it worked for you.

Sorry, it's exactly the opposite: select the "webfolders" option for XP. 

Also, note that in XP you need to access /webdav without defining a network 
port in the URL, i.e. http://server/webdav:8080 will not mount the drive. So 
you need to have an apache or something "in front of" jboss

Also, http://www.netdrive.net/ works fine with gss webdav, just select in 
advanced options UTF-8 encoding for non US characters in file/folder names

So, I should not use "map network drive" wizard, but "add network place" on my 
network places? Where can I enter username and password for webdav in add 
network place wizard? As I wrote in first mail, I enter location 
http://server/webdav - it works with older webdav implementation (pre-milton). 

Will try with netdrive, but was hoping to get full functionality with windows 
"stock" webdav client.

Regards,
Nikola

Open MyNetworkPlaces
Tools -> Map Network Drive
Below the address input field there is a link "Sign up for online storage or 
connect to a network server."

Click on it, next, next, ... fill in the address and provide the credentials. 
It worked for me in a Windows XP VM (just SP3 no other patches).

Please let us know if the "Sign up for online storage or connect to a network 
server." option solves your problem

I suppose the problem is fixed since no further input was provided
