Re: WebDAV on IIS 6.0 and RTF files

There are two PUT commands for the document: the first fails with an HTTP 401.1 "Access Denied", this is normal and just means that your client needed to authenticate, which it presumably does for the second request that appears to fail with an HTTP 500. When the HTTP 500 error happens, what does the event viewer logs say?

Hello, I have checked out my MIME types list (on entire Web server level). There was .rtf file type in list with "application/rtf" type. I tried to change it on "application/doc" but without success. Additionally I tried to add new MIME type on web site level - the same results.

Here is few lines from my web site log (when I open and save rtf file):

We can see that from IIS side it looks without errors. So here is problem with client side. Right?

Where?

P.S. On station with Windows Vista/Office 2007 there is no problem with rtf files saving.

Re: WebDAV on IIS 6.0 and RTF files

One thing you might check is if you have a MimeMap set for the .rtf files (just a hunch). It could be that WebDAV is trying to add one and then returning an error (but not failing to PUT the file properly).

Can you take a network sniff and give us what HTTP message is failing?

WebDAV on IIS 6.0 and RTF files

sheich — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:31:38 GMT

I have enabled WebDAV on my web server working under IIS 6.0, created virtual directiry (application) under web site (authorization type Anonymous (IUSR_***) was choosen). Server located in DMZ but I can open all files from this my web share from internal computers without problem. I can copy, delete etc files. I can edit .doc, .xls, .ppt files. A problem is that I always getting error messages "File was not saved" when I try to save .rtf files - although in reality all changes saved. I got no erros when I edit other types office documents.

What may be a reason?
