Hi guys,
I need to connect to a webdav server from AppleScipt. I tried 'tell
application Finder mount volume URL', which worked fine with smb and
afp volumes, but I can't get it to work with webdav volumes. I also
tried 'open location URL', which again worked well with smb and afp
volumes, and it opened the browser instead of the webdav volume.
Within Automator, there's a Finder action named 'Connect to Servers',
which works with webdav volumes. But I need to use it on Panther, so
Automator isn't an option. I looked up the dictionary of Finder from
the Script Editor, but can't find anything similar to the 'Connect to
Servers' action.
I can do it by running shell command 'mount_webdavfs', but when a
volume is mounted by 'mount_webdavfs' it doesn't show up on the
desktop, and Finder can't unmount it. 'mount_webdavfs' has other
compatibility issues with Finder.
I've googled and dug into mailing lists, still can't find out a way to
connect to a webdav volume whose url is fixed, within AppleScrtpt.
Any hint or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Isaac
