Description

To reproduce:

1. Open Internet Explorer 6
2. Choose File -> Open
3. Enter the url of an Archiva hosted repo, such as http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/
4. check the 'Open as Web Folder' checkbox
5. click OK

Result:
Dialog box with "Internet Explorer could not open http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/ as a Web Folder. Would you like to see its default view instead?"

The expected result is to open the url as a webdav folder which allows adding/removing files.

There is nothing in either the archiva.log or stderr log files.
