fine. I'm having trouble testing it on QA servers, because I need a server that
supports SSL with a real certificate in order to do a completely convincing
test. I don't believe Windows 7 will talk to a non-ssl server without a registry
change.

an instance of Windows 7, it’s not my every day machine at this point.  One
faculty member discovered that WebDAV in the Resources tool does not work
correctly with Windows 7.  I’m wondering if anyone has discovered other issues
with Windows 7 and Sakai.  Anyone have any suggested work arounds at this point?

Has Rutgers or University of the Pacific (or other schools or Sakai
installations) actually deployed 2.6.x Sakai DAV code in a production setting
among 2.5.x Sakai code generally?  If so, has this worked out or are there
problems?; was it kept in production, how long, was it backed out?

If successful, are there common fixups needed for the 2.5/2.6
build/interoperability?

Thanks, 
Bill
