Error saving files with Mac OS X 10.5 clients (WebDAV)

cegner — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:34:15 GMT

Hi,I'm experiencing strange errors saving files with Mac OS X 10.5 clients using WebDAV. Users are getting error messages like "Document could not be saved", "Cannot access the file", "Operation could not be completed" or "Names are too long or contain invalid characters".I have tried both the 2.1.0

Hi

Which application and types of files are you trying to save in that last bullet point of the 3.0a list? I've just tested a simple text file, which worked ok.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I tried saving Richtext Files with OS X's TextEdit, but the problems also happen when saving documents in MS Office 2008. Word documents sometimes work, but Excel or Powerpoint files always get these errors.

Hi Mike,

I have captured a WebDAV session with tcpdump, you can find the file at

Hopefully you can extract additional information. I have also discovered that the problem seems to exist since OS X 10.5.3.
