After some troubleshooting the error was disengaged to the way that WebDav was installed on the server and was catching those requests for its own service use.
Instead of removing Webdav from the server, we made a go at searching for an alternate solution. Thankfully somebody on Twitter comprehended the issue and gave an illustration of changes to make to the customer's web.config record with a specific end goal to disable (remove) the Webdav module for simply that particular webpage without requiring any requiring managerial activities on the server.
The code updates to make to your web.config record to intention this error are:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
