Some code that involved parsing dates from incoming text had passed testing, but when running on a live server it failed. But not consistently - some dates continued to parse fine, but others would cause errors. The answer was... not what I expected.

And fairly often these need some config data to drive their behaviour. If I have a tool that runs on my home server as a Scheduled Task then providing a way to edit that config remotely can be important. A web app is one way of solving this problem - but it tends to be fairly high effort. Remoting to the server is another, but network security can make that a challenge. So an alternative solution is to expose the config file via WebDAV so that a simple remote tool can use HTTP protocols to edit it.
