Fixed in CWS kso50. OOo now sends a User-Agent request header with every
request. The header value format is ooo-product-name/ooo-product-version
neon/neon-version. Examples: OpenOffice.org/3.4 neon/0.29.5, Oracle Open
Office/3.4 neon/0.29.5.

Excellent.  

Now doc mgmt and CMS systems can retrieve an HTTP_USER_AGENT string from OOo and
act accordingly.

Any chance on getting this backported to previous OOo versions?

This bug also prevents OpenOffice from being able to access many webdav servers
who filter on the user agent string to determine allowable webdav clients or so
they can workaround known issues with certain webdav clients.

greno: Do you have an example for such a webdav server?

I tested this against a webdav server using OOo Writer v3.1.1 and the user 
agent
string delivered by OOo was blank and the server refused to allow access due to
the blank user agent string.

The user agent string sent by OOo is not blank, the whole useragent request
header is simply not present. Not much of a difference here, but for the 
records.

 greno: Do you have an example for such a webdav server?

Yes, KnowledgeTree.

And you can see why doc mgmt and CMS systems using WebDAV have had to query the
HTTP_USER_AGENT string because the WebDAV standard can be interpreted
differently in a few instances and as a result client implementations have 
varied.  

In order to guarantee correct results it has been necessary for servers to query
the HTTP_USER_AGENT string in order to determine which type of client is sending
the request.  This way they can workaround certain client-specific WebDAV
implementations.  And when a client does not send a HTTP_USER_AGENT string then
that client is refused access.  

This is why OOo has been prevented from working with the WebDAV servers in some
of the doc mgmt and CMS systems.

greno: Do you have a suggestion for the user agent string OOo should send to
achieve best interop results? OOo uses neon as webdav client library.

I think you can probably make up any OOo HTTP_USER_AGENT string you like but it
should include some form of neon in it to indicate the neon client library.

In some webdav servers you see things like this:
   $user_agent = strtolower($user_agent);
   if (strstr($user_agent, 'neon') !== false) {
  ... do neon specific stuff ...
  $allow = True;
   }
