Module mod_dav

+ +This module provides class 1 and class 2 +WebDAV ('Web-based +Distributed Authoring and Versioning') functionality for Apache. +This extension to the HTTP protocol allows creating, moving, +copying, and deleting resources and collections on a remote web +server. + +

Directives

+ +
+

+To enable mod_dav, add the following to a container in your httpd.conf file:

+ +Dav On

+ +Also, specify a valid filename for the DAV lock database by adding the following to the global section in your httpd.conf file:

+ +DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock    (Any web-server writeable filename, without an extension)

+

+ +

Dav

+Syntax: Dav <on | off>
+Default: + Dav off
+Context: directory
+Status: extension
+Module: mod_dav
+Compatibility: Apache 1.3.4 and above

+ +Use the Dav directive to enable the WebDAV HTTP methods +for the given container. +You may wish to add a +<Limit> +clause inside the +location +directive to limit access to DAV-enabled locations.

+ + + +
+Example:

+DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock
+
+<Location /foo>
+Dav On
+
+AuthType Basic
+AuthName DAV
+AuthUserFile user.passwd
+
+  <LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
+  require user admin
+  </LimitExcept>
+</Location>
+ +
+ +
+

+ +

DavLockDB

+Syntax: DavLockDB <Full path to lock database>
+Default: + None
+Context: server config, virtual host
+Status: extension
+Module: mod_dav
+Compatibility: Apache 1.3.4 and above

+ +Use the DavLockDB directive to specify the full path to the +lock database, excluding an extension. The default (file system) +implementation of mod_dav uses a SDBM database to track user locks. +The utility modules/dav/util/lockview can be +used from the server to display all locks in a lock database.

+ + + +
+Example:

+DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock
+
+ +
+ +
+

+ +

DavMinTimeout

+Syntax: DavMinTimeout <seconds>
+Default: + DavMinTimeout 0
+Context: directory
+Status: extension
+Module: mod_dav
+Compatibility: Apache 1.3.4 and above

+ +When a client requests a DAV resource lock, it can also specify a time +when the lock will be automatically removed by the server. This value +is only a request, and the server can ignore it or inform the client +of an arbitrary value.

+ +Use the DavMinTimeout directive to specify, in seconds, +the minimum lock timeout to return to a client. Microsoft Web Folders +defaults to a timeout of 120 seconds; the DavMinTimeout +can override this to a higher value (like 600 seconds) to reduce the chance +of the client losing the lock due to network latency.

+ + + +
+Example:

+<Location /MSWord>
+DavMinTimeout 600
+</Location>
+
+ +
+ +
+

+ +

DavDepthInfinity

+Syntax: DavDepthInfinity <on | off>
+Default: + DavDepthInfinity off
+Context: directory
+Status: extension
+Module: mod_dav
+Compatibility: Apache 1.3.4 and above

+ +Use the DavDepthInfinity directive to allow the processing +of PROPFIND requests containing the header 'Depth: Infinity'. +Because this type of request could constitute a denial-of-service attack, +by default it is not allowed. +

+ +

+ +

LimitXMLRequestBody

+Syntax: LimitXMLRequestBody <size in bytes>
+Default: + LimitXMLRequestBody 1000000
+Context: directory
+Status: extension
+Module: mod_dav
+Compatibility: Apache 1.3.4 and above

+ +Use the LimitXMLRequestBody directive to limit the +size of an XML request which mod_dav will attempt to parse. Specify +a size greater than zero. +
