OK, tested with Apache/moddav (2.2.4), IIS (5), Xythos WFS and SAP KM, 
using Content-Range, Content-MD5, Content-Foobar.

Only one of the servers (Xythos) rejects all requests it should. IIS and 
SAP KM reject PUT/Content-Range, but not others. Apache/moddav 2.2.4 
accepts all of them and ignores them (opened issue: 
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42978>).
