then we'd have to issue an initial request to the server just to determine the 
server software, if it is chatty enough it'll tell us in the http headers, but 
still have to be parsed properly. i am not into webdav, so i don't know if 
there is a way to properly ask a server what software/version it is in case the 
headers are useless. 

but seeing all these different implementations i'd bet that going by hostname 
(say second level domainbased e.g. box.net) assuming they don't use different 
implementations in their loadbalancing should be quite easy and safe to 
implement.
