I am only now learning about WebDAV, but since it is built on http, it
ought to be as interoperable as http is, so something seems odd about
this.

To be specific, I _thought_ there was a standard for on-the-wire text
files through http... CRLF format, and clients were supposed to be
responsible for translating to and from their own formats.  Is there
something systemically wrong with all these clients, or is the ContentType
header just not set right?
