The PROPFIND request should only be happening if the user types in webdav:// 
instead of http://.  The delete command should only happen if the webdav 
listing is successful, and the user selects the directory / file and tries to 
delete it.

If you are blocking propfind requests, the only way those delete commands 
could be happening (as far as I know) is if someone has tampered with things, 
or is just using that user agent with another program.
