Description

When trying to delete a file using the webdav DELETE command, lighttpd returns Not Implemented if it can't delete the file due to incorrect permissions on the file.

When permissions are corrected, it behaves properly and returns a No Data status code.

Here is the capture of the exchange:

########

According to http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc2518.html#METHOD_DELETE we should probably return something else for this error, maybe a 403?
