If you display http://www.vistasource.com (one of our default bookmarks),
Nautilus defaults to displaying the page as an Icon View. The tester notes that
this also occurs with all other sites authored by Zope Studio.

* REPRODUCIBLE: Always

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. From the Bookmarks menu, go to the "Software" submenu, and select
"VistaSource"

* ACTUAL RESULTS: 

 An icon view displays, listing the directory tree at http://vistasource.com. I
don't think it has an index.html page, and was made by Zope Studio.

Will figure out how to do packet analysis on Linux and add more info.

Displays fine if you "View as Web Page".

After nearly an hour of playing around, I can't find a utility to display packet
content that is straightforward to build (unless tcpdump can display packet
content, as well.) Sorry.

The HTTP code currently doesn't do a HEAD if a PROPFIND succeeds (as it does for
zope studio authored sites). This needs to be fixed. This is related to bug 44310

Note that vistasource.com is no longer a default bookmark; don't know if this
affects PR2 prioritization.

Bud, please reprioritize for PR2 based on the fact that the one specific
reported case is not a default bookmark any more. However, note that Eli hasn't
yet checked all the actual default bookmarks to see if any of them fall into
this same category. (Also, I don't know how many sites in the world fall into
this category.)

Unfortunately, this isn't a bug, its a feature.

All DAV-enabled sites currently default to Icon view, not Web view.

Possible work around: Bookmark real "index" page indide the site

http://www.vistasource.com/index_html

Only problem is this particular URL is currently displayed as text instead of
HTML.  (bug 44299?)

Other possiblity: Never return x-directory/webdav for root directory URL's

Last comment is probably a reasonable hack for PR2.



------- Additional Comments From mikef@praxis.etla.net 2000-11-01 09:58:34 ----

We have a better idea now, but it requires a tweak on the backend.

Since DAV allows arbitrary metadata on files and folders, we can annotate Eazel
Vault directories with a property that says "I am an Eazel Vault Directory"

For Eazel Vault directories, gnome-vfs will return "x-directory/eazelvault".  In
Nautilus, the defaults will be "x-directory/eazelvault" goes to Icon View and
"x-directory/webdav" goes to Mozilla.

I'm going to talk to Larry Hammel about how hard it would be to do the back-end
part of this idea.

I am totally ready to do the "no WebDAV at top directory" hack if that's what we
want. But earlier, when I was busy, I suggested that Gene look at this. Gene
decided to talk to Bud to try to get him to consider no hack at all (no fix for
PR2) before making the actual change.

We still don't have a consensus on the best post-PR2 fix. Perhaps the metafile
approach.

Setting back to "undecided" to more clearly indicate that Gene is waiting on
another talk with Bud.



------- Additional Comments From bud@eazel.com 2000-11-01 13:57:49 ----

Will talk to Gene. I still think the "no WebDAV at top directory" hack
is right for PR2. Unless it is really hard to add a URI parse & check
at the existing FIXME for 3834 in http-method.c

Verified fixed in Nov 1 18:45:23 build; www.zope.org and www.vistasource.com
both display correctly.
