21Description
22===========
23
24The WebDAV module is a very minimalistic implementation of RFC 2518.
25Minimalistic means that not all operations are implemented yet.
26
27So far we have
28
29 * PROPFIND
30 * OPTIONS
31 * MKCOL
32 * DELETE
33 * PUT
34
35and the usual GET, POST, HEAD from HTTP/1.1.
36
37So far, mounting a WebDAV resource into Windows XP works and the basic litmus
38tests are passed.
39
40Options
41=======
42
43webdav.activate
44  If you load the webdav module, the WebDAV functionality has to be
45  enabled for the directories you want to provide to the user.
46
47  Default: disable
48
49webdav.is-readonly
50  Only allow reading methods (GET, PROPFIND, OPTIONS) on WebDAV resources.
51
52  Default: writable
53
54Examples
55========
56
57To enable WebDAV for the /dav directory, you wrap your webdav options in
58a conditional. You have to use the regex like below as you want to match
59the directory /dav and everything below it, but not e.g. /davos. ::
60
61  $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/dav($|/)" {
62    webdav.activate = "enable"
63    webdav.is-readonly = "enable"
64  }
