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

The WebDAV module is a very minimalistic implementation of RFC 2518.
Minimalistic means that not all operations are implementated 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 the provide to the user.
  
  Default: disable

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

  Default: writable

Examples
========

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

  $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/dav($|/)" {
    webdav.activate = "enable"
    webdav.is-readonly = "enable"
  }
