Hi,
I looked around on the web a bit and found a workaround that might work:
http://www.schiller.cc/blog/2007/01/29/bug-in-vistas-webdav-implementation
The steps:
1. Go to “Add a Network Location…”
2. Insert your webdav ressource in the following format:
“\\mywebdav.server@SSL\dav“, insert (if applicable) your username by
“Connect using a different username” - and now, your shared folder
should appear :)
Hope it helps :)
Regards,
Erik
