I see. How does WebdavServlet get around this problem?

Does the container throw an exception when PROPFIND is the method? Or,
does the servlet have to implement service(ServletRequest,
ServletResponse) and look for that particular method?

Well, we're just a filter. If the container is objecting to certain
requests, there's nothing we can do about it.

Doesn't Tomcat support BASIC auth to protect the WebdavServlet? Or, is
all of the authentication and authorization for WebDAV built into the
WebdavServlet?
