--> If the error message is correct, there is no possible regression here. "Browse Remote Files" has never, ever, supported the NTLM (Microsoft specific, undocumented) authentication scheme. However: * Web browsers support the NTLM authentication scheme. * Java's native HTTP client (but not our WebDAV client 3.8.1 or 4.2.1), supports the NTLM authentication scheme on Windows. As a consequence, if you do not use "Browse Remote Files" and just type the URL then click OK, XXE may be able to open your file (not 100% sure). --> If your WebDAV server does not use the NTLM authentication scheme (but rather the BASIC or DIGEST standard authentication schemes), then you have found a bug. But in order to fix it, you'll have to let me access your WebDAV server.
