IE5 trys FrontPage first, then falls back to DAV. Just return 404 for the GET /_vti_inf.html. IE will follow that up with a POST /_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc, which you should also return 404 on. In other words, don't do anything special, but let your standard GET/POST processing handle the failure. IE5 will do another OPTIONS, followed by a PROPFIND, right after those two (failed) requests. What surprises me is why you haven't seen the PROPFIND already. How is your server built, such that you didn't return 404 for the GET/POST? Can you tell us a bit more about your server?
