> org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.webdav.WebdavFileObject.setDavResource seeks to determine whether a specified resource exists already or not.  
> At present, it checks whether COPY is an allowed method, and if it is, the resource is assumed to exist.  
> According to the code, this works on IIS.
> It doesn't work for Alfresco's WebDAV implementation, at least.  This causes the PUT of a new resource to fail.
> The attached patch uses a PROPFIND to determine whether the resource exists.  (It also contains the simple fix to the argument to setEscapedPath)
