It's a well-known issue with the WebDAV client in WinXP. The authentication
tokens it passes to the HTTP server are in an IIS-only format. Who knows why.
But, mod_auth_msfix solves this problem on the server-side:

I'd suggest that someone write this up as a FAQ and/or patch the book. More
info also available at:

<http://dav.lyra.org/pipermail/dav-dev/2004-March/005388.html>

FWIW, I tried to contact the author of the mod_auth_msfix module to see about
including it in future releases of httpd, but I didn't receive a reply. Oh,
well. -- justin
