[Setup] sftp or webdavs not working

[Xavier Fustero]

Hi Peter,

your indication was right but I guess there was something else. I can't 
remember because I spent lot of time changing things and looking at it 
but at the end it is working fine.

I have a virtual server:  vhost1 which redirects traffic to https for my 
normal plone content and another redirect to use the webdav protocol

vhost1:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dav [NC]
RewriteRule ^/dav https://my_plone_site/dav [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my_plone_site [L,R=301]

then, in the vhost-secure, I have setup the following lines:

vhost-secure:

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/dav [NC]
 RewriteRule ^/dav/(.*) 
http://localhost:8070/VirtualHostBase/https/my_plone_site:443/Application_name/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_dav/$1 
[P,L]
 RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/https/my_plone_site:443/Application_name/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[P,l]

I could use webdav through Linux with a command line program called 
cadaver and with two different browsers:
shell> cadaver  https://my_plone_site/dav
or nautilus/konqueror-> webdavs://my_plone_site

I will look for some Windows clients now. Anyway, the config/redirection 
job is done!

Thanks,
Xavi
