I had the same problem, with a RESTful API running on aspnet core.

I didn't want to uninstall the WebDAV, and I tried most of the remedies described above. I tried to set the verbs="*" both on the site and on the server itself, but without success.

What did the trick for me was the following:

IIS Manager -> Sites -> MySite -> HandlerMappings -> aspNetCore -> Edit

-> Request Restrictions -> Access -> None (it was Script).

After that everything worked, even if I replaced the original WebDAV options.
