That looks like a serious problem.
It may be a bug in the client that could cause an incorrect request to be
generated, and then which makes the request parsing go wrong. In the command
line client, we only use a subset of all possible requests.
Juergen is working on a test suite (but of course, this takes time to pull
together).

I don't think I ever return 405 anywhere. You mentioned mod_jk, I think, so
it may come from there.
The mod_jk in TC 3.2 doesn't support WebDAV at all. The one in TC 3.3 does.

Right now, there is a realm for Catalina (which is quite hard to use).
Something similar could be developed for Tomcat 3.x.
That's the first step : only add users once.
After that, except giving users shared accounts, I don't see any good
solutions. Ideas anyone ?)
