I mean HttpRequest, because:
"Method PROPFIND is not defined in RFC 2068 and is not supported by the Servlet 
API."

Servlet does not handle PROPFIND and some other types of request ...

And WebDAV: ... WebdavServlet extends HttpServlet ...

WebDAV security is a bitch, so if SF can handle such things you will bring some 
users on-board.
