WebDAV ======

--------------------
Module: mod_webdav
--------------------

.. contents:: Table of Contents

Description ===========

The WebDAV module is a very minimalistic implementation of RFC 2518.
Minimalistic means that not all operations are implemented yet.

So far we have

• PROPFIND
• OPTIONS
• MKCOL
• DELETE
• PUT

and the usual GET, POST, HEAD from HTTP/1.1.

So far, mounting a WebDAV resource into Windows XP works and the basic litmus
tests are passed.

Options =======

webdav.activate
If you load the webdav module, the WebDAV functionality has to be
enabled for the directories you want to provide to the user.

Default: disable

webdav.is-readonly
Only allow reading methods (GET, PROPFIND, OPTIONS) on WebDAV resources.

Default: writable

webdav.sqlite-db-name
The full path to the file you would like to use as your db file. This is required for webdav props and locks.

Default: <empty>

Examples ========

To enable WebDAV for the /dav directory, you wrap your webdav options in
a conditional. You have to use the regex like below as you want to match
the directory /dav and everything below it, but not e.g. /davos. ::

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/dav($|/)" {
    webdav.activate = "enable" 
    webdav.is-readonly = "enable" 
    webdav.sqlite-db-name = "/var/run/lighttpd/lighttpd.webdav_lock.db" 
  }

If you would like LOCK support ::

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/dav($|/)" {
    webdav.activate = "enable" 
    webdav.is-readonly = "disable" 
    webdav.sqlite-db-name = "/var/run/lighttpd/lighttpd.webdav_lock.db" 
  }
