Good. I'm glad you tried this; I'd like to update Appendix D with
some kind of information about dreamweaver compatibility.

It's surprising to me... if the {LOCK, PUT, UNLOCK} sequence works for
editing files, why wouldn't a single PUT work?

This doesn't say much. It says that dreamweaver tried to get some
properties from /trunk/peter.html and /_mm/, got a "404 Not Found"
error each time, meaning the properties it wanted didn't exist. Then
tries to LOCK peter.html, and succeeded. Then it tried to get
properties from peter.html again, and couldn't get them.

So the question here is... what kind of properties is it looking for?
Maybe it's looking for DAV lock-related properties.

What we really need here is an HTTP trace. It would be great if you
could use ethereal to capture the dialogue for us to analyze.
