Most (all?) WebDAV-servers do that. For a maintainer of a WebDAV-client 
it sometimes is really frustrating.

davfs2 does not use the WebDAV-If-headers. But full support for the 
standard HTTP-conditionals (If-Match, If-None-Match, If-Modified, 
If-Not-Modified) would be useful. At the moment davfs2 can not make full 
use of them, as Apache gets them wrong.
For davfs2 it would be useful, when the server uses the "owner"-value 
sent by the client. As davfs2 does not steal Lock-Tokens from other 
clients, it needs the value of the owner-property, to resume from a lost 
Lock-Token.
