The problem is with the OPTIONS command sent to determine if the WebDAV 
server is 'compliant' like you say.

I've done some (alot) of hacking, and I've found the root cause of the 
problem:
mod_webapp does not recognize the mapping unless you SPECIFY A TRAILING '/'
i.e. if you do this:
http://localhost/webdav  this will NOT work
http://localhost/webdav/ this WILL work

Unfortunately, Windows will happily clip the trailing '/' you put when 
defining a Webfolder, and there's no way around this from what I can tell.

I hacked around with mod_rewrite for a few hours to see if I could 
work-around this but no luck.

What does work, however, is if a sub-folder/collection/dir is specified, 
like so:
http://localhost/webdav/myHome
Obviously, 'myHome' is the entry point instead of the root of your 
collection. This is what I'm going to use for the time being as I have 
all my stuff in a sub-dir already ;)

hope that helps
