      WebDrive client (simply maps webdrive to a W: drive for edit-in-place of attachments)

    Description

      filenames greater than some unknown limit (somewhere between 120 to 260) generated by Long Page titles, Long Attachment Names, or deep page heirarchies, make certain pages and attachments inaccessible via WebDav clients.

      Reason: limitation in windows operating system. We've seen this with many other applications that map as drives.

      Suggested solution: Allow items to be accessed via WebDav by Contenty ID (CEO ID) in a flattened manner by implementing the following webdav virtual heirarchy (W: is your webdave path)

      W:@PagesByID - flattened list of all pages, index by content id rather than title
      W:@PagesByPermaLink\ - flattened list of ALL pages index by generated PermaLink, rather than title
      W:\Spaces
      W:\Spaces\SpaceKey@PagesByID - flattened list of all pages from this space, by content id
      W:\Spaces\SpaceKey@PagesByPermaLink - flattened list of all pages from this space, by the generated PermaLink
      W:\Spaces\SpaceKey@PagesByTitle - flattened list of all pages from this space, by Title (they should be unique)

      Also, there should be @versions folders for ech object (for either named or ID indexed objects) that index the previous versions.
