If the webdav username or password used by Workbench (defined in runtime.properties) uses any of the reserved characters for the "authority" component of a URI, then Workbench may have issues accessing WebDAV.
From RFC 2396: 'the characters ";", ":", "@", "?", and "/" are reserved.'
fix: update DAVMgr to encode username/password before requesting the URL
branch 3-4: rev 9993: fix DAVMgr to perform encoding on username/password when accessing DAV
