Daniel: passing --username doesn't change anything here. The client
never "pushes" authentication at the server. The server only "pulls"
authentication if it decides it needs it. The --username option just
sets up a name on stand-by, to be used *only* if the server asks.
Either the server asks, or it doesn't... the client can't affect that.
If the server asks, and --username isn't present, then the client will
prompt the user anyway. So the fact that he wasn't prompted means the
server never asked for authentication... and thus --username won't
change a thing.
The 405 error that Charles is seeing, however, is most often caused by
a web proxy blocking WebDAV http requests (like PROPFIND). That's most
likely the problem.
