Public bug reported:

o Mount a webdavs share via nautilus
o Browse it and open a file from it with OOo
o It prompts for a username/password, which does not work, the just repeatedly 
asks for the password

apache error logs suggest that the username is somehow not being sent:

[error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] user  not found: /somefile.ods

which is backed up by the repeat authentication dialogs from OOo not
including a username, just the password.

As a test, I tried starting OOo first and then opening a file from the
mounted share. This causes OOo to block for a while, with blinking
network lights (suggesting it is downloading the file), but it then asks
which import filter to use and then complains of an input/output error.

It works fine with a similarly mounted SMB share.
