Hello Emiliano,
 
> Is Explorer well-supported? Windows Explorer has a number of gotchas that
usually make it finicky with WebDAV servers that strictly adhere to the
webdav servers. I don't have the finicky-list handly, but usernames come to
mind. 

I've implemented parts of Virtuoso WebDAV and I tested it with MS WebDAV for
Win2000 and with built-in WebDAV of WinXP. As a result, we have a good
compatibility with both, but some authentication bugs stay opened. Problems
are mostly with WinXP and they may appear when a resource, say, readable by
everyone but writable for an authenticated user only: there are cases when
WinXP client simply do not prompts user for authentication when needed, or
prompts but not send the request to the server. Other applications, like
built-in DAV clients of big web-development tools, work better than Windows
clients.

What's still in early development state is DAV versioning: protocol stubs
are in place but actual diff/patch/merge processing of version histories is
very poor.
 
Best Regards,
Ivan Mikhailov.
