I'm afraid that "hg serve" crashes without leaving anything in the error log or on the console when trying to access files with this method, even with "-vvv" added.  Also, WEBDAV doesn't work against it; the HTTP OPTIONS command isn't supported.  I suppose the latter might be easy to patch, but a bit more introspection about the crash is necessary before I can do much about it.
