The DAV servlet is mostly unsupported if it's not mapped as the default
servlet in a context. Ie, it may work, but it's untested.
WebdavMethod.getRelativePath is in charge of extracting the relative path,
so the root of the problem may be there.
However, I don't really understand why it way working some time ago but not
anymore. Except for the URL decoding, there haven't been any changes in that
part of the code for a while. I don't think the problem comes from the URL
encoding (and I've seen the webfolders behave really weird in lots of
situations; the logs are really strange too). I'll do some testing and try
to come up with a rational explanation.
