<h3>Summary</h3>
|
||
|
||
<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>

<h2><a name="example" id="example">Enabling WebDAV</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To enable <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code>, 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>This enables the DAV file system provider, which is implemented
|
||
by the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav_fs.html">mod_dav_fs</a></code> module. Therefore, that module
|
||
must be compiled into the server or loaded at runtime using the
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In addition, a location for the DAV lock database must be
|
||
specified in the global section of your <code>httpd.conf</code>
|
||
file using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_dav_fs.html#davlockdb">DavLockDB</a></code>
|
||
directive:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
DavLockDB /usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>The directory containing the lock database file must be
|
||
writable by the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code>
|
||
and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code> under which
|
||
Apache is running.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>You may wish to add a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit"><Limit></a></code> clause inside the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> directive to limit access to
|
||
DAV-enabled locations. If you want to set the maximum amount of
|
||
bytes that a DAV client can send at one request, you have to use
|
||
the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limitxmlrequestbody">LimitXMLRequestBody</a></code>
|
||
directive. The "normal" <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limitrequestbody">LimitRequestBody</a></code> directive has no effect on DAV
|
||
requests.</p>

<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code> is a descendent of Greg Stein's <a href="http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/">mod_dav for Apache 1.3</a>. More
|
||
information about the module is available from that site.</p>

|

<h2><a name="security" id="security">Security Issues</a></h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Since DAV access methods allow remote clients to manipulate
|
||
files on the server, you must take particular care to assure that
|
||
your server is secure before enabling <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Any location on the server where DAV is enabled should be
|
||
protected by authentication. The use of HTTP Basic Authentication
|
||
is not recommended. You should use at least HTTP Digest
|
||
Authentication, which is provided by the
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code> module. Nearly all WebDAV clients
|
||
support this authentication method. An alternative is Basic
|
||
Authentication over an <a href="../ssl/">SSL</a> enabled
|
||
connection.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In order for <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code> to manage files, it must
|
||
be able to write to the directories and files under its control
|
||
using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> and
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code> under which
|
||
Apache is running. New files created will also be owned by this
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#user">User</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mpm_common.html#group">Group</a></code>. For this reason, it is
|
||
important to control access to this account. The DAV repository
|
||
is considered private to Apache; modifying files outside of Apache
|
||
(for example using FTP or filesystem-level tools) should not be
|
||
allowed.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code> may be subject to various kinds of
|
||
denial-of-service attacks. The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limitxmlrequestbody">LimitXMLRequestBody</a></code> directive can be
|
||
used to limit the amount of memory consumed in parsing large DAV
|
||
requests. The <code class="directive"><a href="#davdepthinfinity">DavDepthInfinity</a></code> directive can be
|
||
used to prevent <code>PROPFIND</code> requests on a very large
|
||
repository from consuming large amounts of memory. Another
|
||
possible denial-of-service attack involves a client simply filling
|
||
up all available disk space with many large files. There is no
|
||
direct way to prevent this in Apache, so you should avoid giving
|
||
DAV access to untrusted users.</p>

<div class="section">
|

<h2><a name="complex" id="complex">Complex Configurations</a></h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>One common request is to use <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav.html">mod_dav</a></code> to
|
||
manipulate dynamic files (PHP scripts, CGI scripts, etc). This is
|
||
difficult because a <code>GET</code> request will always run the
|
||
script, rather than downloading its contents. One way to avoid
|
||
this is to map two different URLs to the content, one of which
|
||
will run the script, and one of which will allow it to be
|
||
downloaded and manipulated with DAV.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
Alias /phparea /home/gstein/php_files<br />
|
||
Alias /php-source /home/gstein/php_files<br />
|
||
<Location /php-source>
|
||
<span class="indent">
|
||
DAV On<br />
|
||
ForceType text/plain<br />
|
||
</span>
|
||
</Location>
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>With this setup, <code>http://example.com/phparea</code> can be
|
||
used to access the output of the PHP scripts, and
|
||
<code>http://example.com/php-source</code> can be used with a DAV
|
||
client to manipulate them.</p>

<p>The value <code>On</code> is actually an alias for the default

provider <code>filesystem</code> which is served by the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dav_fs.html">mod_dav_fs</a></code> module. Note, that once you have DAV enabled
|

for some location, it <em>cannot</em> be disabled for sublocations.

<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>
