Bug 119066

Confirmed on r487700.

This is a bug in apache.

Changing the User-Agent string in the MOVE header to "User-Agent: Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider DAV" makes the command succeed.  The request is properly formatted as per the RFC.

I have reported this to apache: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38059

A comment in the reported Apache Bug (ID 38059, by Hamish Rodda) shows the solution:
In apache config there has to be a line, e.g. "BrowserMatch "Konqueror/3.5" redirect-carefully".
Similar lines are part of the default config, e.g. "BrowserMatch "Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider" redirect-carefully"). The comment above these explaines the reason.
Now renaming of directories is working in both konqueror and krusader.

There should be a hint in the Konqueror Documentation or - according to the apache config comment - a change regarding trailing slash in directory names should be considered

I'd rather not have to change my Apache config, unless I'm running a buggy version of Apache.

So, Hamish, who is right? kio_http or Apache? We cannot both be right.

Actually the spec says we SHOULD use trailing slashes on directories, so they are right (but they're being strict about it).

I'll look to see if we can pass the trailing slash.

SVN commit 493783 by rodda:

Work around Apache2 DAV module's insistence on trailing slashes at the
end of requests on directories.
