WebDav should support Digest authentication

The WebDav support offered by ModeShape should support digest authentication. With the current BASIC authentication, WebDav Shared Drive will not work with Windows 7
Googling for a solution gives:

>> Configure your webdav server to use Digest Authentication. Windows 7 WILL NOT connect to webdav servers using Basic Authentication.

It seems W7 will not connect unless we use Digest Authentication.

Therefore, when I try to map a network drive on W7 it fails to connect and assume this is the reason.
