WebDAV Prevent ._AppleDouble & .DS_Store

Hello,


I am using WebDAV on 10.8.2 OS X Server and have Windows clients connecting to it. When I copy files via WebDAV from a Mac it creates the .AppleDouble (data fork) - The Mac does not display these but the Windows users see what appears a double of each file, name ._filename. I tried a couple CLI but it only prevents the .DS_Store creation. I've also tried BlueHavervest but I it doesn't appear to work. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I found that when the Macs connect via AFP BlueHarvest DOES work. It is when the Macs connect WebDAV do I get the .DS_Store and ._AppleDouble files creation (shows in Win).


I also found that when Macs create new folders connected as WebDAV, those folders do not appear later when connecting via AFP. This quite strange behaivior.
