What is WebDAV?
Briefly: WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning". It is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.

mod_dav: a DAV module for Apache
mod_dav is an Apache module to provide DAV capabilities (RFC 2518) for your Apache web server. It is an Open Source module, provided under an Apache-style license. This page serves as a distribution point, as documentation, and as a FAQ for mod_dav. Updates, clarifications, questions, etc, are gratefully accepted at gstein@lyra.org.
and of course
Security issues
DAV allows users to place and manipulate files in a directory on your web server. This means that you should take particular care in configuring your DAV server.
When you enable DAV for a directory or location, you should also enable authentication and authorization for that space. If authorization (for authenticated users) is not enabled, then an anonymous user would have full control of the DAV-enabled portion of your web server.
Please see the installation instructions for information on how to properly configure your DAV server to prevent anonymous browsing and updating of your DAV-enabled web content.
At this time, the files that are managed within the DAV directory should be read/write for the web server process. Files and directories that are created by the DAV server will have read/write/exec privileges for the user and group (but not the world) of the server process and will be owned by the process' user/group. For example, if you run your web server as "nobody:nogroup", then you will want to create a base directory owned by nobody:nogroup and give it read/write/exec privs to the user and group.

Poop, no support for webdav 
We don't support WebDAV at all.
Thats too bad.
The good thing is that *someday* we might get
it as it is part of apache 2.0 .

mod_dav

We consider a switch to Apache 2.0 and hope that it will be installed on our servers now. Now it is too raw and we are looking on its development
