Webdav in Windows products is broken beyond any hope. Even in Windows XP Pro
it doesn't work with certain combinations of updates and patches. Also, MS
Office products understand webdav. Even they don't work in all installations
as expected. Many a times they start talking FPSE.

Also look at Microsoft KB articles. Search on MSDN for "webdav" "web
folders" etc.
Overall, its quite hopeless.
For your specific problems there are hacks available on the net.
specifically a module that sits before auth and (de)mangles the username.

This is a well known "feature" of Windows XP Home and later editions.
Workaround: use a port number after the domain, or use a trailing /. or
a /# on any URL to use WebDAV properly in the setup wizard.
* e.g.: http://www.atarex.com:80
* e.g.: http://www.atarex.com/.
* e.g.: https://www.atarex.com/#
Explanation: the :port number on the domain name, the trailing slash dot
"/.", or slash pound "/#" at the end of the URL prevents the bug which
interprets the resource as a SMB network drive.

Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WebDAV setup on Windows XP
You seem to be confusing auth_sspi (ntlm) auth with basic auth. Or it's
an issue with your client - do you have another non-Microsoft dav client
to try? And see conf/extras/httpd-dav.conf for an example.
