Added some additional logging, and implemented a workaround for
an issue where WsgiDAV was complaining that the WebDAV "hostname"
was being used inconsistenly by Nautilus ("username@localhost:8080"
versus "localhost:8080").
Reverting to previous method of escaping Windows special characters
with a caret for now, i.e. only doing it for specific cases where
it is needed in utilityFunctions.py's siteConfig.
