I can't get *any* access to the server, even read-only. It seems like the DAV 
filesystems (tried with "davfs2" and "fusedav" packages from Debian) issue 
PROPFIND at all times, even when no writes are attempted.

Also, is PROPFIND really a write operation? From 
http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc2518.html#METHOD_PROPFIND, that doesn't look to 
be the case. It just allows to read properties of a file/directory. Modifying 
those is done via PROPPATCH.

I'd like to use WebDAV on machines with no GUI installed.
