I'm using apache w/ mod_dav and mod_auth_msfix to compensate for the bug in WinXP's DAV client. (And I'm stuck w/ WinXP clients.)
The regular expression I'm using works well if the directory to be accessed is in the web server document root (http://myserver.tld/dav_dir). But if the directory is down one or more levels from the document root in the directory tree (http://myserver.tld/level1/dav_dir), authentication fails. Other clients are able to connect to dav_dir, regardless (or, in Utahnese, "irregardless") of its position relative to the document root.
The line in the apache configuration file looks like:
AuthMSFixMatch "^.*\\\\(.*)$" "$1"
To my limited regex expertise, this seems correct. Can anyone show me the error of my ways?

Can you give the output of AuthMSFixDebug On so we can see an example of what it is doing?
Also, I got this from someone outside the list. I forgot to pass it on at the time, but now that you have reminded me, it may moot the trouble you are having:
