MSOffice error

LordShryku

Well, I don't exactly know what this is looking for but I can only surmise that it's looking for some sort of MSOffice information...

This is the error I've been seeing in my Apache logs. I can't really make heads or tails of what people are doing to generate this error. It's Apache running on Linux. What's MSOffice got to do with it?

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here?

Isn't _vti MS Frontpage crap? I hope so, since I delete it out of every site I've worked on (when I find it) for the past 8 years...

I found a webhost yesterday that had copies of OfficeXP zipped up on it's hard drive yesterday. I won't say who or why I came acrossed it, but I was pretty stunned...it wasn't one of their users...it was the...plus they have a hell of alot of other software on there too...

yes, the vti stuff is when the server has frontpage extensions enabled on the server, apache/iis/whatever...

Hrmmm.....strange. Must be a default setting or something. I can't find any sort of frontpage extension attributes in the httpd.conf file, and I've never used any compiltion arguments beyond --enable-so.
Thanks for the explanation.
