webdavhandler.rb on jruby 1.1[.1]

There is this hidden gem in Ruby land, the webrick webdav handler.

I’ve been using it to power some webdav accesses to an application here. When the time arrived to upgrade from JRuby 1.1 “pre from last fall” to JRuby 1.1[.1], this webdav handler broke.

Two small changes to webdavhandler.rb fixed this issue and a subsequent issue.

The updated webdavhandler.rb is available.
