Squid isn't very kind to services requiring HTTP extensions, such as
WebDAV.

a) It isn't a HTTP/1.1 proxy (yet). Any requests/replies will be
downgraded to HTTP/1.0.

b) Support for chunked transfer encoding isn't yet in the base
distribution.

b) It only supports a fixed set of HTTP methods. Adding new methods
isn't that hard, but it involves changing the source and building a new
binary. (see the patch referred above for guidance).
