Windows Explorer client cannot connect via WebDAV

           Summary: Windows Explorer client cannot connect via WebDAV
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.42
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_dav
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: varju@webct.com

Using Windows Explorer I can no longer add network resources that are backed by Apache WebDAV folders. It appears that Explorer trims trailing slashes off of URLs before sending the request. While this behaviour is not necessarily correct, Apache used to just work, but now (as of 2.0.42) it is sending an error 301, with a Location header redirecting to the same URL with a trailing slash.

  $ telnet tick 80
  Connected to tick.webct.com.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  OPTIONS /dav/alex5 HTTP/1.1
  Host: tick.webct.com

  HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
  Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 22:13:28 GMT
  Server: Apache/2.0.42 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.0.42 OpenSSL/0.9.6g   Location: http://tick.webct.com/dav/alex5/

Since Explorer doesn't seem to support redirects, it is no longer a viable DAV client.
