Webdav export of pages/links/events doesn't work in Windows XP

Description

I am using a clean Plone3 site.

  • I create a folder, collection, page and link in my site.
  • I open windows XP and create a Network Place to my site using the webdav port
  • From the network place, I can drag and drop to my desktop the folder and collection I created without problem
  • When I drag and drop the page or the link, i have the error:
    an error occurred whil copying the file. The requested header was not found
    

I attempted to analyze the requests using Wireshark, and the big difference I see so far is that for folder/collection, it is using PROPFIND, and for pages/links it is using GET directly.

I also checked the error log as someone proposed to me on the plone mailing list, but there wasn't any error message.

It's an established fact that the WebDAV support in Windows sucks. Use well written software, like  http://webdrive.com/products/webdrive/WebDAVClient.html
