Cannot upload files using https in IE

OK, here I am again resurrecting an old thread. But just in case someone searches and trys this, it won't work anymore (at least, doesn't for me). I've had two firmware changes since I posted my solution here and who knows how many other configuration changes, including a factory default to allow 2GB drives. I have no idea when it broke. Turns out nobody had been using WebDAV to access my server for a while because it's broken in Win 7. But when finally sombody tried using WebDrive, it seemed to work but the files retrieved were just copies of the .html for the file manager interface, not the files themselves. It took me a bit to figure out that it wasn't a WebDrive issue.

But, there is another solution. What you have to do is create a separate alias for the share, enabling WebDAV in one alias and the HTTP(S) file manager in the other. I again put this in a separate .conf file in Addons so it won't get erased by configuration changes, but you can put it in something that will get overwritten with a firmware re-install if you want more safety.

So, where Shares,conf contains the following:

Alias "/family" "/c/family"
<Location "/family">
  Options Indexes
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Require user "family"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "My Shares"
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::FileManager
</Location>

My separate .conf file contains this:

Alias "/Family" "/c/family"
<Location "/Family">
  Options Indexes
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Require user "family"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "My Shares"
  Dav On
</Location>

So, "Family" with an upper case F is an alias to 'family", with "Family" having WebDAV access and the "family" having HTTP(S) access via the File Manager. (I have it restriced to HTTPS only elsewhere).

Note that I am using share access on this NAS, so what is in your Shares.conf may be a little different. Just duplicate eveything except the share name and Perl directives, replacing with your altername name and "Dav On". If using share access mode, be sure to NOT change the name of the user.
