Re: [SM-USERS] SM 1.4.10-22 and problem in IE with openning DOC attachment [hope finally SOLVED]

[Josef K. <ka...@aj...>]

   Ehh,
   sorry for all, the issue returned after restarting IE, grrr . I  
made some others observations and capturing. There are a lot of  
intereng things:
   After sending "Microsoft office discovery protocol" as a "OPTIONS  
/squirrelmail/src" of the http protocol and got reply "HTTP/1.1 302  
Found", discovered existence of index.php and got HEAD of the  
attachment, some other user agent started to communicate -  
"Microsoft-webDAV-Miniredir" and OPTIONS http command (I think it is  
http command lige, GET, POST, ... ) changed to PROPFIND. And again he  
discovered webmail directory including index.php a few times, system  
asked me to a login and password (login dialog window, not SM login).  
So I disabled windows service named "Web client" and after restarting  
IE, restarting windows (just to be REALLY SURE) the problem  
disapeared. It is importing - the web client service must be disabled,  
not only stopped. If you stop it, while "OPTIONSing" and "PROPFINDing"  
the service start again and the problem has reborn :).
   But this service could be necessary for somebody, why IE try to  
communicate and discovering cloud/webdav servicing, smeg knows :-/.  
Any ideas ? Or there should be some options somewhere to disable this  
and there is not necessary disable the service.
   Thanks and have a good day.
   Best regards
   Josef Karliak.
