It's called "Spice webdav proxy"

Using spicy will connect the webdav channel, and the service can be started successfully.

For this to work, the service needs to run. I am trying to keep the service running even if the channel is not connected.

It's created by Windows installer, see ServiceInstall in https://git.gnome.org/browse/phodav/tree/spice-webdavd.wxs.in
