Question about 409 Conflict

I am using Sitecopy to backup large directories from FreeBSD to a  
Xythos server (a WebDAV server). I notice that filenames with special  
characters (especially colons) result in a 409 Conflict response.  
That makes sense, since this particular server doesn't allow colons  
in filenames (it doesn't allow any of \ / : * ? " < > |).

If it's not already possible I'll be happy to present a patch, but  
basically what I want is for the file to be uploaded with a modified  
name (maybe a %-escaped HTTP-safe name), and have the original name  
to be stored in a WebDAV property so that it can be accurately  
restored. This may also be possible for permissions, extended  
attributes, file-owner, etc. What do you think?

(I have a couple more questions coming in separate emails to avoid  
confusion)
