VLC definitely does not support WebDAV or issue PROPFIND by itself. As for 
OPTIONS, it only uses it for RTSP (should read "OPTIONS * RTSP/1.0").

Maybe Windows is being too clever and accepting HTTP URLs through the open() 
function. Can you please provide the message log from VLC? What is your 
Windows version?
