Setting up WebDav

Installation

Apache has a module for web dav, compile it as a dynamic shared object:

cd mod_dav
./configure --with-apxs=/where/is/apache/bin/apxs

DAV is done !!

Configuration

An example:
In apache's configuration file:

#
# Settings for WebDAV Server
#
DAVLockDB /where/the/lock/goes/to/DAVLock
DAVMinTimeout 600
DAVDepthInfinity On


DAV On
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthName "DAV Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /where/is/webusers

Require valid-user

Now you need to create a password entry for a webserver user:

htpasswd -c webusers adavuser

Where webusers is the webserver users file.
In the .htaccess write

AuthName "DAV Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /where/is/webusers

require valid-user

I haven't still understood the requirements of each DAV Client in terms of requests tags (HEAD,OPTIONS...).
