           Summary: FrontPage 2003 compatibility
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.52
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: support
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chrissorisio@peaktechnical.com


I experienced problems trying to import sites or open sites via Microsoft
FrontPage 2003 from a WebDAV-enabled Apache 2.0.52 server.  I could not import
or view subdirectories of any parent directory I attempted to open due to '301'
errors, although my httpd.conf had the usual 'redirect-carefully' entries for
Microsoft WebDAV clients.

>From checking my access logfiles, it appears either:

a.  FrontPage 2003 was announced itself as a Mozilla 4.0 client.
b.  Apache 2.0.52 was recognizing FrontPage 2003 as a Mozilla 4.0 client.

By adding 'BrowserMatch "^Mozilla 4.0" redirect-carefully' to my httpd.conf, I
was able to correct the behavior.

I don't know if the fault here lies with Microsoft FrontPage 2003 or Apache. 
Either FP2003 isn't announcing itself properly or Apache isn't properly
identifying it.

Sample acccess_log entry for FrontPage 2003:

192.168.100.200 - - [26/Dec/2004:09:25:51 -0500] "PROPFIND /webdav/images
HTTP/1.1" 301 326 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MS FrontPage 6.0)"
