The MS client should start by doing a OPTIONS /slide.
The response returned included the MS specific header : "MS-Author-Via" with
value "DAV". This should indicate to IE that it shouldn't try FP.
The next request should be PROPFIND /slide.
If I remember well, the mod_jk people added the WebDAV methods to the mod_jk
from Tomcat 3.3. The one from Tomcat 3.2 may not be able to handle a
PROPFIND, for example (which of course would be a problem, and would explain
why IE is falling back to FP). I don't use mod_jk, so this is just a theory.
