   7     <p>This module provides class 1 and class 2 <a href="http://www.webdav.org">WebDAV</a> ('Web-based Distributed
   8     Authoring and Versioning') functionality for Apache. This
   9     extension to the HTTP protocol allows creating, moving,
  10     copying, and deleting resources and collections on a remote web
  11     server.</p>
  12
  13     <p>To enable mod_dav, add the following to a container in your
  14     <code>httpd.conf</code> file:</p>
  15
  16 <blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>Dav On</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
  17
  18     <p>Also, specify a valid filename for the DAV lock database by
  19     adding the following to the global section in your
  20     <code>httpd.conf</code> file:</p>
  21
  22 <blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

  27     <p>Use the <code class="directive">Dav</code> directive to enable the

  54     <p>Use the <code class="directive">DavLockDB</code> directive to specify
  55     the full path to the lock database, excluding an extension. The
  56     default (file system) implementation of mod_dav uses a SDBM
  57     database to track user locks. The utility
  58     <code>modules/dav/util/lockview</code> can be used from the server
  59     to display all locks in a lock database.</p>

  66     <p>When a client requests a DAV resource lock, it can also

  69     ignore it or inform the client of an arbitrary value.</p>

  71     <p>Use the <code class="directive">DavMinTimeout</code> directive to specify, in

  73     Microsoft Web Folders defaults to a timeout of 120 seconds; the
  74     <code class="directive">DavMinTimeout</code> can override this to a higher value
  75     (like 600 seconds) to reduce the chance of the client losing
  76     the lock due to network latency.</p>
