Document Windows read-only WebDAV quirks and add locking opt-out
The Explorer optimistically removes icons on a rejected DELETE, and apps that LOCK before open get stuck for 30-60s on the WebClient negative cache when the user only has read access. New disable-webdav-locking.reg turns SupportLocking off as an opt-in workaround for view-only setups. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
|

|
||||
; Disables WebDAV file locking globally. Useful when staff users have
|
||||
; only "read" rights on customer folders: Office/editors stop trying
|
||||
; to LOCK the file before opening (which would 403 and trigger the
|
||||
; "file does not exist, create new?" dialog). Read-only viewing then
|
||||
; works without the artificial wait.
|
||||
;
|
||||
; Trade-off: collaborative editing scenarios cannot rely on WebDAV
|
||||
; locks anymore. For pure download/view workflows this is fine.
