Are you responding to the options verb? this is how the web client know you
do webdav.

The tool that XP provides also support front page extenions, it does an
OPTIONS to decind what to use, SOAP trace shows all this.

This is our CODE to reply to an options VERB :

  void options()
  {
   SetStatus(200);
   Response.AppendHeader("DAV", "1,2");
   //TODO: Check 3 headers below
   Response.AppendHeader("MS-Author-Via","DAV");
   Response.AppendHeader("Versioning-Support","DAV:basicversioning");
   Response.AppendHeader("DASL","<DAV:sql>");
   AddAllowedVerbsHeaders();
  }

  protected void AddAllowedVerbsHeaders()
  {
   Response.AppendHeader("Public","OPTIONS, TRACE, GET, HEAD, DELETE, PUT,
POST, COPY, MOVE, MKCOL, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, LOCK, UNLOCK, SEARCH,
SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, POLL, BDELETE, BCOPY, BMOVE, BPROPPATCH,
BPROPFIND");
   Response.AppendHeader("Allow","OPTIONS, TRACE, GET, HEAD, DELETE, PUT,
COPY, MOVE, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, SEARCH, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, POLL,
BDELETE, BCOPY, BMOVE, BPROPPATCH, BPROPFIND, LOCK, UNLOCK");
  }

configure a Wildcard Application Map and launch a GET request from a

virtual directory (with the mini-redirector in XP) I am prompted for
username and password. No accounts even with administrator level access will
satisfy the prompt. I always receive Error 5 (access denied).

application folder. I have configured my application in both the web server
root and in a virtual directory.
