AltostratusI think I´ve found my problem. It seems that APM can not work with WebDav. If I want to edit a document out of the SharePoint we can see in the APM log that the user handler is a Microsoft WebDav client. In the APM log we also see that there are regarding the WebDav communication unknown HTTP methods.
err apd[21063]: 01490000:3: HTTPParser.cpp func: "parseHttpRequestHeader()" line: 172 Msg: Unknown HTTP method: PROPFIND
It seems that APM will discard connections with unkown HTTP methods. After I´ve insert a iRule which will deactivate HTTP if the method is unknown I can edit the documents. The following iRule has helped me... https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.DisablingHTTPProcessingForUnrecognizedHTTPMethods.ashx

We are also running into issues with WebDAV in our SharePoint 2013 environment. Are you running 11.4 ? We are having issues around using "Explorer View" with SharePoint 2013 behind APM and LTM. - seilemor_131269We´re using sharePoint 2007 and 2010. 2013 is at the moment not installed on our servers. The BigIP Version is 11.4.1. Explorer View worked for me. Have you tried to disable the APM module if it then work? Have you checked the APM log for errors regarding the errors which I´ve posted in my first post?
- ge0ff73_32053I just tried using Explorer View and it usually works the first time. If I close it out and try again after 45 seconds or so, it fails. I did just see the following in my APM logs (11.4) when doing it: Mar 31 11:55:34 DMDC-F5-LAB02 debug apd[6083]: 01490000:7: HTTPParser.cpp func: "parseHttpRequestHeader()" line: 164 Msg: HTTP Method received: PROPFIND Mar 31 11:55:34 DMDC-F5-LAB02 err apd[6083]: 01490000:3: HTTPParser.cpp func: "parseHttpRequestHeader()" line: 172 Msg: Unknown HTTP method: PROPFIND Mar 31 11:55:34 DMDC-F5-LAB02 err apd[6083]: 01490093:3: 00000000: Request header parsing failed while processing request from remote client
- seilemor_131269The first and the second error from your "log" (unknown HTTP method) I´ve solved with an iRule. After enabling the iRule on the virtual server I don´t see the error anymore and I can open the documents all the time. Do you have tried this!? (the link for the iRule and the solution description from F5 you can find in my first answer...)
Chew_Bacca_1523seilemor - Can you share your irule? I am having the same problem. THanks
