[users@httpd] WebDAV setup on Windows XP
Sorry if this is a FAQ. I'm trying to set up an Apache server (2.2.3, I
think) on XP and I'd like to setup WebDAV on it. Is there any documentation
on this? I can't seem to authenticate. I've got an htpasswd generated
authentication file, but it keeps wanting the username in the form
machinename\username. I'm not sure how to go beyond this point.
Thank you!

There are many other WebDAV implementations for Windows/Java/etc, see:
http://webdav.org/projects/ for commercial and open source options.
You'll find a number of packages are an editor with WebDAV abilities.
Your mileage will vary on performance since every link in the chain
between client, network, and server will impact response rates. I've
never benchmarked other clients versus Microsoft network drive WebDAV
performance against Apache, but it shouldn't be too hard to beat. :-)

I've got it working now (sort of). It seems to function, but so far it's
unusably slow. Are there any better alternatives for the Windows
platform?

Webdav in Windows products is broken beyond any hope. Even in Windows XP
Pro it doesn't work with certain combinations of updates and patches.
Also, MS Office products understand webdav. Even they don't work in all
installations as expected. Many a times they start talking FPSE.

http://greenbytes.com/tech/webdav/webdavfaq.html
Also look at Microsoft KB articles. Search on MSDN for "webdav" "web
folders" etc.
Overall, its quite hopeless.
For your specific problems there are hacks available on the net.
specifically a module that sits before auth and (de)mangles the
username.

Explanation: the :port number on the domain name, the trailing slash dot

interprets the resource as a SMB network drive.

You seem to be confusing auth_sspi (ntlm) auth with basic auth. Or it's
an issue with your client - do you have another non-Microsoft dav client
to try? And see conf/extras/httpd-dav.conf for an example.
