There is nothing in the Apache log.
Nothing in the Windows event log either.

The client is trying to upload files into two different directories. The ownership and the perms are identical on both and on the files
therein and the dirs and files are all owned by apache.

All the files and directories should be owned by apache.

*But* the Unix permissions are somewhat irrelevant, it's the
Apache access control and authentication which counts in this
case.

One will allow the upload of html files into it, the other will not
allow the upload of gif files into it.

My guess would be that someone has prevented the download of .gif files from www.example.edu.au by code like

 SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.example.edu.au/"; local=1
 SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://www.example.edu.au$"; local=1

 <Directory ".(gif|png|jpg)$">
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from env=local
 </Directory>

and forgotten that this needs to be undone for when using
https://dav.www.example.edu.au/

Hope this helps,
Glen
