Yes (limited testing, just cat-ing some xml documents on console).

In may setup, I am using /etc/fstab for mount definition and 
/etc/davfs2/secrets for password, but your command is equilvalent. Also, 
I always change delay_upload to 0 in /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf

With WebDAVServlet or with milton? With milton I have the same result.

davfs logging can be configured I think, but instead, for debugging I 
use jetty logs plus exist logs plus:

tshark -i/dev/eth0 -w/tmp/milton-write.pcap tcp port 8080 and host 
192.168.1.10

and wireshark on /tmp/milton-write.pcap (Follow TCP sream on right 
button over packets). Wireshark can be installed on Windows too.

optionally for small flows tshark can be used with -V (immediate render 
packets tree on console) instead of -w (writing flow to file)

I am checking simultaneously:
<forward pattern="/webdav/" servlet="WebDAVServlet"/>
<forward pattern="/webdav2/" servlet="milton"/>

I have not tested closed source alternatives (like WebDrive for 
windows), but except them, in productive environment davfs2 is most 
reliable solution for me.

Kind regards,
