/**
 * Filter that attempts to force MS WebDAV clients connecting on port 80 to use a WebDAV client that actually works.
 * Other workarounds that might help include:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Specifying the port, even if it is port 80, when trying to connect.</li>
 * <li>Cancelling the first authentication dialog box and then trying to reconnect.</li>
 * </ul>
 * Generally each different version of the MS client has a different set of problems.
 * <p>
 * TODO: Update this filter to recognise specific MS clients and apply the appropriate workarounds for that particular
 * client
 * <p>
 * As a filter, this is configured in web.xml like any other Filter. You usually want to map this filter to whatever
 * your WebDAV servlet is mapped to.
 * <p>
 * In addition to the issues fixed by this Filter, the following issues have also been observed that cannot be fixed by
 * this filter. Where possible the filter will add an message to the logs.
 * <p>
 * XP x64 SP2 (MiniRedir Version 3790)
 * <ul>
 * <li>Only connects to port 80</li>
 * <li>Unknown issue means it doesn't work</li>
 * </ul>
