RE: WebDAV Bug?

There might also be a MIME-type problem, depending on how the original =
file was split up and the parts renamed. =20

I would suggest renaming bits like that to have *.bin names to see if =
that overcomes it (and assuming the WebDav host has a MIME type rule for =
*.bin).

I'm guessing that the problem isn't with apache or webdav, but rather=20
wtih the browser.  Check its settings -> applications to see if some app =

is automatically unzipping the first file, test_xaa.
