I am working on WebDAV implementation in our system. Now I am facing with the following problem.

When I am opening the document that placed in one of the subfolders, after editing it
I cannot save it. I am getting error: Word didn’t saved document.

Despite this , the document that is placed in the root folder could be opened and edited.
I understand that the question is very specific , and I will get a lot of “thumb down” but I am fighting with it almost 3 days , and yet doesn’t have any point to start.

Maybe one of you has also faced and struggled with the problem.

The Office Client is Office 2007 , the OS is Windows Wista / 7.
Office 2010 doesn’t have this problem. I can edit and save the document from any depth.

The trace of requests:
This is Trace when word is saving the document.

The Lock request is sent couple times for a some reason. Anyone have an idea why this can happens ?

    Ok , I’ve found the answer. Maybe this will be helpful for someone.

    The problem was in Lock request. Since our system working with RTL characters set (Hebrew/Arabic) , the exact problem was in Url Decoding , the actual Physical path to file was corrupted and required some fix, so the lock request seems to be accomplished well but according to our implementation despite this , lock returned OK.
