Well, the best idea for now seems to be to provide a switch to disable WebDAV
functionality on the 'main' port.

I'd also like to run up a seperate HTTP server that serves out the same as the
'main' port (ie: rendered content) but on another port. That's changes to z2.py
I guess, so how would I test that?

True I guess, but I don't think a REQUEST.setHeader would suffice (if such a
thing exists...) so how should we go about synthesising such a request?
