The patch for WebdavServlet
The WebdavServlet does not work with native Windows clients besides the
deprecated Web Folders. The more modern, common and supported by Microsoft
client, Windows Mini-Redirector that allows mapping of WebDAV shares to local
drives cannot mount a WebDAV share served by tomcat's WebdavServlet.
You can observe this by using the following command from a windows machine:
> net use * http://hostname:8080/webdav
It should fail without the attached patch. The reason is that:
DAV: namespaced elements in a PROPFIND responses can not use a default
namespace; each element must be explicitly prefixed with a namespace prefix
defined in itself or a parent. If a default namespace is used the client will
give no errors, but will not display any resources.
This is mentioned here, albeit for a single Windows version, Windows Server
2003:

I have verified that the patch fixes WebDAV mounts for Windows XP, Vista & 7.
