[Mailman-Developers] Mailman's CGI doesn't seem to handle the PROPFIND HTTP Request Method

[Daniel Buchmann]

Forwarding a bug from the Debian bug tracking system:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=202821

Anyone else seen this? What wrong here/who's fault is this?

HTTP (WebDAV ?) requests. It seems that MailMan then tries to answer
to these requests instead of ignoring them, and fails :
