No doubt. I'm there with you.

While working on the DAV stuff, I found that it totally bombs on a GET on a
DAV resource when the Last-Modified header is not returned. (!!)  Of course,
dynamic scripts practically never return that, so I had to insert the
following in my httpd.conf:

<Files "*.shtml">
  Header set Last-Modified "Fri, 03 Mar 2000 06:32:31 GMT"
</Files>
  
Pretty fuggin broken, if you ask me :-)

Oh. Even more broken: it makes you send the time. It doesn't display it in
the Windows Explorer / Web Folder like you would expect. The "Modified"
column is simply blank.  *boggle*

Cheers,
