Konqueror as a webdav client?

I'm trying to setup a groupware site and very interested in using webdav.

http://www.webdav.org/projects/ lists KDE as supporting the webdav protocol, 
but neither the KDE nor Konqueror site has any webdav info (unless I missed 
it).

Also, http://nestroy.wi-inf.uni-essen.de/Forschung/Publikationen/WETICE99/
webdav-client-impl/ offers an interesting browser technique to access the 
webdav protocol by extending the html form tag.

Is there any info on using Konqueror as a webdav client?

As an experiment, I enabled the apache server as follows:

# WebDav setttings
DavLockDB /var/lock/subsys
<location /dav>
Dav On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "test site"
AuthUserFile /home/www/passwd
AuthGroupFile /home/www/group
<LimitExcept OPTIONS PROPFIND>
  require valid-user admin
</LimitExcept>
</location>

and from konqueror, entered the following url

webdav://localhost/dav/index.html

which did return index.html and render as expected. However, the server logs 
suggest something else happened (abreviated here):

127.0.0.1 - "PROPFIND /index.html HTTP/1.1" 405 970
127.0.0.1 - "PROPFIND /index.html HTTP/1.1" 405 970 "-" "user agent"
127.0.0.1 - "PROPFIND /dav/index.html HTTP/1.1" 207 1021
127.0.0.1 - "PROPFIND /dav/index.html HTTP/1.1" 207 1021 "-" "user agent"
127.0.0.1 - "GET /dav/index.html HTTP/1.1" 401 1280
127.0.0.1 - "GET /dav/index.html HTTP/1.1" 401 1280 "-" "user agent"
127.0.0.1 - peter "GET /dav/index.html HTTP/1.1" 200 162
127.0.0.1 - peter "GET /dav/index.html HTTP/1.1" 200 162 "-" "user agent"

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Peter
