If the domain of a WebDAV host is created using a CNAME record in the DNS, you cannot mount the webdav host using the Go:Connect to server in the finder.

When the webdav client goes to find the IP address, it first finds the CNAME record, which points to an A record. OS10.3 then commits an error by swapping out the hostname of the webdav site in favor of the hostname of the A record.

it therefore gets the right IP address and the wrong hostname.

I have a similar problem in panther.
When i try to mount a webdav share, which works fine under jaguar, i get an error. In system.log it says:

Nov 4 20:34:59 localhost webdavd[758]: http_mount: WebDAV protocol not supported
Nov 4 20:34:59 localhost webdavd[758]: http://host.myserver.com/ could not be mounted

I'm trying to mount a virtual server through a CNAME-record.

I've been searching for a solution, but found nothing, so any hints could be helpful.

The only solution is for the host of the webdav site to change the CNAME record to an A record.

Panther's bug will prevent successful connection without that change.
