Does anyone have a fix for Panther's Finder connecting to https WebDAV servers? I'm pretty sure my https WebDAV server is working b/c Goliath and WinXP are able to connect, and I was able to verify (using tcpflow) that the communications were encrypted.

Please Apple, fix this.

The Finder does not and never has supported WebDAV over SSL. As for whether it ever will,

At least it supports Digest authentication...

I've got a Linux-based webDAV webserver (Apache 2.0.x) running with digest authentication which I can correctly log into from my OS X laptop.

However, while I can drag and delete files without any trouble, doing any work with folders (creating, renaming, and deleting) results in a:

• The operation could not be completed.
  An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)

Any idea why this might be happening? The webDAV configuration on the server side is a textbook setup.

Thanks.

Follow-up:

If I turn off digest authentication and connect with a webDAV client using basic authentication such as Goliath 1.0, I'm able to work with the webDAV share as expected (creating, renaming, deleting files and folders...). This is really kind of annoying...

Friendly soul on a mailing list passed on the following info:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107047

• This occurs when the WebDAV server is using some versions of the Apache 2 Web server. Users of Mac OS 10.0 to 10.1.5 must update to Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Additionally, a configuration change may be required for the server. Refer your server administrator or Internet service provider to this document.
  
  The following directive can be added to the httpd.conf file on the Apache 2 server to fix this issue:
  
  BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[012]" redirect-carefully
  
  The httpd.conf file should already contain several BrowserMatch directives for other WebDAV clients. If there is not a BrowserMatch directive for WebDAVFS, then it should be added.
  
  Note: Apache 2, as installed with Mac OS X Server 10.2, includes this directive, but the default installation of Apache 2 may not.

Hope that saves someone frustration down the line.
