Can't remember who I investigated this for... might even have been you, Adam.

A user may use any WebDAV client to connect to a WebDAV server.
Probably the most common client is Windows Explorer, and the second
most common is probably Microsoft Word.  It's what Office uses to save
documents to SharePoint sites, for example.

WebDAV clients may have no user interface at all, or certainly none
capable of showing an HTML page or processing Javascript.  So it is
not possible to make a pop-up (or any other piece of UI functionality)
that works for all clients.  If you want to allow a range of clients,
you have to assume just the basic functionality; if you want
additional functionality, you'll have to limit the range of clients to
your "approved" list.
