WebDav error while saving in Microsoft Office 2007

I have two servers: one running Windows and the other running Linux. The application is identical on both servers, with the exception of a few differences in controllers. Interestingly, the functionality behaves as expected on the Windows server: it successfully calls the PUT method and saves the file. However, the Linux server presents an issue, causing an error during the same process.

When comparing the two setups, everything appears quite similar on a technical level. The only notable distinctions lie in the authentication process. On the Windows server, the application employs BASIC authentication, prompting users to input their credentials when attempting to save a file. Conversely, on the Linux server, the authentication process includes passing credentials with metadata.

The goal is to ensure that the file-saving process works seamlessly on the Linux server, mirroring the functionality on Windows. Achieving this might involve investigating the authentication mechanisms and potentially aligning the Linux approach with the Windows approach. This could be the key to resolving the error and making the file-saving process on the Linux server just as successful as it is on the Windows counterpart.
