I think you missed my point. We are not forcing the client
to use Basic authentication. We are giving clients that do not support Digest
authentication the option of using Basic. Clients that support Digest use
Digest authentication.

 The reason we made a special authenticator for WebDAV was to
make it interoperate with a number of clients we initially had problems with.
We did this test 18 months ago, but we unfortunately did not keep a log of the
clients we had problems with.
