About this task

The WebDAV entry URL is as follows:
  • For default portal installations:
    http://server:port/webdav/dav/contentmodel/[page_unique_name|page_object_id]/
    http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_unique_name/
    or
    http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_object_id/
  • For virtual portals:
    • If a host name was specified when the virtual portal was created, the WebDAV URL is as follows:
      http://virtual_portal_host_name:port/webdav/dav/contentmodel/[page_unique_name|page_object_id]/
      http://virtual_portal_host_name:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_unique_name/
      or
      http://virtual_portal_host_name:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_object_id/
    • If the virtual portal was created with a URL context only and no host name was specified, the WebDAV URL is as follows:
      http://server:port/webdav/URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/[page_unique_name|page_object_id]/
      http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/page_unique_name/
      or
      http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/page_object_id/
Where:
server
