Troubleshooting
Problem
WEBDav PROPFIND method fails with HTTP 500 Internal Server Error unless the AcceptAllContent property is set to true in the plugin-cfg.xml file. The AcceptAllContent Web server plug-in configuration property has a default setting of false. Unless set to true, content is expected and read only for POST and PUT requests. Because the WEBDav PROPFIND method supplies content and sets content-length in the HTTP header, it requires the AcceptAllContent property to be set to true.
Symptom
Web server http_plugin.log with trace enabled, will show requests that return from the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server with HTTP 500 RC:
[Tue May 13 13:32:28 2008] 00007b6c b640abb0 - DETAIL: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
SystemOut.log from WebSphere Application Server will show the following:
[5/13/08 13:32:28:373 EDT] 00000029 WebApp E [Servlet Error]-[webdav]: com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppErrorReport: Internal Server Error: Socket operation timed out before it could be completed
If trace is enabled, the trace.log shows:
