I have mapped a WebDAV server to a drive in windows, which make accessing file on the WebDAV server really convenient, but I need to avoid making changes.

So my question is if there is a possibility to mount a WebDAV (or maybe any network drive) read-only even if my user has write permissions.

Why I need this: The WebDAV server belongs to a portal that is used to share files and I have to be careful about what to share. In addition, some programs create a temporary file next to a file that was opened; so if I open a file on the WebDAV drive I automatically upload a temporary file and other users will get notified that I uploaded a new file (this happens thru the portal that manages the WebDAV server).
