    <p>This module provides class 1 and class 2 <a href="http://www.webdav.org">WebDAV</a> ('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.</p>

    <p>To enable mod_dav, add the following to a container in your
    <code>httpd.conf</code> file:</p>

<div class="example"><p><code>Dav On</code></p></div>

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

<div class="example"><p><code>DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock    
      <em>(Any web-server writable filename, without an
      extension)</em>
</code></p></div>
</div><div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3><ul id="toc"><li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#dav">Dav</a></li><li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#davdepthinfinity">DavDepthInfinity</a></li><li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#davlockdb">DavLockDB</a></li><li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#davmintimeout">DavMinTimeout</a></li></ul></div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div><div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="Dav" id="Dav">Dav</a> <a name="dav" id="dav">Directive</a></h2><table class="directive"><tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Description">Description:

    <p>Use the <code class="directive">Dav</code> directive to enable the
    WebDAV HTTP methods for the given container. You may wish to add a
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit">&lt;Limit&gt;</a></code> clause
    inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;location&gt;</a></code> directive to limit access to
    DAV-enabled locations.</p>

<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code>
        DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock<br />
        <br />
         &lt;Location /foo&gt;<br />
         Dav On<br />
        <br />
         AuthType Basic<br />
         AuthName DAV<br />
         AuthUserFile user.passwd<br />
        <br />
           &lt;LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS&gt;<br />
           require user admin<br />
           &lt;/LimitExcept&gt;<br />
         &lt;/Location&gt;<br />

    <p>Use the <code class="directive">DavDepthInfinity</code> 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.</p>

    <p>Use the <code class="directive">DavLockDB</code> 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
    <code>modules/dav/util/lockview</code> can be used from the server
    to display all locks in a lock database.</p>

<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code>
DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock
</code></p></div>

    <p>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.</p>

    <p>Use the <code class="directive">DavMinTimeout</code> 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
    <code class="directive">DavMinTimeout</code> can override this to a higher value
    (like 600 seconds) to reduce the chance of the client losing
    the lock due to network latency.</p>

<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code>
         &lt;Location /MSWord&gt;<br />
         DavMinTimeout 600<br />
         &lt;/Location&gt;<br />
