-------------------------------
honestly, i really doubt that is a reasonable thing to do. what is the requirement behind this?
the aim of the simpledavservlet in jackrabbit is to allow webdav clients to access a jcr repository.
and dav clients are known for being limited in their ability to deal with authentication...
on the other hand the sling authenticator adds all kind of fancy configuration options that don't
have any meaning in a webdav client server setup and are prone to simply disable the
webdav functionality.

it is part of the configuration how the webdav servlet behave in case of missing authentication. please don't make any
assumption and just keep it backwards compatibible.

in this case it makes the administrators life really hard because there are far to many options in the sling authenticator
and an admin fiddling around with it to finally get his/her webapp run, will not be aware that the very config option that
was fine for the regular webpage just broke the webdav support.
and probably i wouldn't even care about if it wasn't me that had to run after "webdav problem" that turns out to
be introduced in sling by people stating "... works a designed" when they just broke the fundamentals of the webdav servlet
by trying to fit them into the sling authenticator schema :)

Even though the Sling Auth infrastructure will be used, it will be limited to support BASIC authentication, but probably unlike the DavEx bundle, which does not request credentials if missing, this bundle should probably do so and thus not allow anonymous access. Particularly since WebDAV clients generally don't do preemptive HTTP Basic authentication.
